I could get over a million on the Namco Museum version, but I don't think I've gotten much over 350k on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if you take advantage of it, but arcade has the exploit where if you don't shoot for a certain amount of time then enemies will stop shooting. Man I love Galaga. Both this port and the arcade game are loads of fun. It is kind of a marathon though when playing for high scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 1,884 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I may have played this game casually for years without ever having a ship captured. I just found out a couple of months ago. I thought I had this whole ship gets captured / ship gets rescued thing figured out. Just shoot the enemy holding the ship, but don't shoot your ship. So I shoot the enemy and the next thing I know my ship is bright red and fluttering down so I try to collect it and it kills me. Why did it turn into a bad red ship? Did it take me too long to release it or what? seriously asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be swooping for a rescue. It'll change back to white, spin around, the music goes crazy, then it'll straighten out and dock with your current ship.

I've successfully rescued it in both of those situations, I believe. In this instance it was in static formation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's still red when coming at you, dodge it, as it's still an enemy ship. It'll reappear in the next wave attached to a new boss, and you can try again.

I really like galaga as a quick pick up and play, especially at a bar/arcade machine, but I dont know how much Id like to marathon it on my NES. Also, if you dont mind share bearing, is there a point where you stop using the double ship? Seems like when you get into teen levels, it gets unmanageable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like when you get into teen levels, it gets unmanageable I'd say it took a bit over an hour, so anything longer would start to really drag on. I try to keep the double ship as long as possible, but it is a bit easier to maneuver the single ship when things really speed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Looks like I’m done for the week cause I won’t get back from Disney until Sunday night. Kinda bummed personally was thinking 500k for my goal but not gonna happen this time and probably gonna fall off the podium for the genre. Oh well wasn’t meant to be.
