Galaga vs Sega-Galaga

Galaga puts you in control of a starfighter that slides along the bottom of the screen, blasting waves of insect‑like enemies that dive in formation. The goal is to rack up the highest score while avoiding enemy fire and the occasional tractor‑beam capture. The game adds dual‑shot firepower, a bonus Challenging Stage, and a unique capture‑and‑rescue mechanic that lets you free a captured ship for double firepower. Play solo or with friends, and watch the level counter roll over at 255 for a nostalgic glitch experience.

Sega-Galaga brings the iconic arcade action of Galaga to the SG-1000, letting players pilot a starship to fend off waves of alien attackers. The game retains the signature capture mechanic, allowing you to rescue a stolen ship and double your firepower for a brief advantage. While the graphics and sound are toned down to match the SG-1000’s capabilities, the core gameplay remains faithful to the original arcade experience. Note that the challenging stages are omitted, making each level a repeat of the classic pattern.
