![]() You get a bonus 10,000 points if you do not shoot anything on the first challenge stage, so if your down to single fire (unlikely), your probably better not shooting anything because if you miss just one alien you will get 3900 instead of the perfect 10,000. Yet on another game i've gotten much further by not collecting them but my score was crap. I've had 6 lives once and lost them on 2 levels alone collecting 2 capsuls per zone. You do get a higher score collecting the capsuls, but you also get a harder game. Collecting 2 or more in one zone warps you to a harder rank, or it seems like it. As in the original Galaga, Gorgs shall occasionally stop mid-dive, and attempt to capture the Blast Fighter with a tractor beam. There are capsuls in the game which affect the direction of your game. There are 2 types of Galaga 88 ships are: Blast Fighter Lockheed Galaga 88 Triple Fighter Lightning The Blast Fighter was a default single fighter from Galaga 88. Its one of those games you must have a go of but due to its linearity and simplistic design you will probably bore of it after 2 plays. Its a 9/10 game for those that like a quick blast, repetitive play after 2 or 3 credits is just boring though. The challenge stages just get silly but are highly enjoyable and the tunes change from each one. It gets very hard in the last two zones, you can only shoot certain aliens at certain times and there is alot of Kamikaze aliens that dive at you at top speed. The music is very cool, the PCB has treble and bass You have Galaga, Galaxian and scrolling levels. You can triple up your fire power by getting caught and shooting the collecting alien down There is only one boss battle that I know of and its a lame affair. I recently bought the PCB and have had it in my cab for about 6 weeks or so. Every fifth stage (with the exception of the thirtieth one, which is a Galaga 88-styled final boss battle) is also a 'Challenging Stage' - and in two-player games, the player who scores the higher number of hits is the one who shall receive the perfect 10000-point bonus at the end of them. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a port of Galaga'88 for the X68000, but that machine has so few exclusives that it's really not worth owning, IMO. Here's the website of Messiah Entertainment (at least they don't have a god complex), where you can pre-order, and get more info about, the NEX: ![]() So was Galaga 90 for PCE the only console port? I don't know where I got the idea that Galaga 88 was an NES title. ![]() Thanks for the info- the NEX sounds great! I will definitely look into that. It will retail for about $59.99, and feature wire-less controllers, and a port for NES controllers, lightguns, etc. But as far as your unreliable NES goes, next month the NEX-a top loading console with two cartridge ports on top-one for NES games and one for Famicom games-will go on sale. I'll have to think about getting it for PCE.ĪFIK, Galaga '88 was never released on the NES or Famicom. I just don't like playing games on my unreliable NES.
