Description - Galaga for NES
The objective of Galaga is to score as many points as possible by destroying insect-like enemies. The player controls a fighter spaceship that can move left and right along the bottom of the playfield. Enemies fly in groups into a formation near the top of the screen, then begin flying down toward the player, firing bombs at and attempting to collide with him/her. Occasionally, a "boss Galaga" attempts to capture the player`s fighter using a tractor beam â?? if successful, the fighter joins the formation and must be freed by the player (using another ship and costing him/her a life), enabling him/her to control two ships simultaneously. The game is over when the player`s last ship is destroyed or captured.Galaga introduces a number of new features over its predecessor, GALAXIAN. Among these are a realistic explosion sound that occurs when the player loses a life, a count of the player`s "hit/miss ratio" at the end of the game, and a bonus "Challenging Stage" that occurs every four levels, in which a series of enemies fly onto and out of the screen in set patterns without firing at the player.
