About Arcade Classic 3: Galaga / Galaxian

Review A long time ago in a game developer's room far, far away, Namco created Galaxian, and it was good. It set the player in a small spaceship and commanded him to destroy all aliens, which basically meant that it was a Space Invaders clone. Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course, but it doesn't exactly have what it takes in the "long-term playability" department. However, it paved the way for Galaga. Galaga is quite simply one of the best examples of how a game can be so simple yet so amazingly addictive it's almost scary. The objective is still the same - shoot everything that moves - but the extras spice up the proceedings so much. For example, every now and again, an alien will come down to the bottom half of the screen and start firing a tractor beam. Move into its path, and your spaceship gets captured. Here's the cool bit - if you manage to rescue your stolen ship by shooting the alien that is carrying it, the old ship gets bolted onto your new one, creating a bigger spaceship with twice the firepower! Other sections such as bonus stages can yield big rewards and different attack-wave patterns. It's good to see classic shooters like these make a return in a portable format. --Cameron Davis --Copyright ©1998 GameSpot Inc. All rights reserved.
