Game History:
Galaga is a fixed shooter arcade game developed and published by Namco in Japan and published by Midway in North America in 1981. It is the sequel to Galaxian, released in 1979. The gameplay of Galaga puts the player in control of a space ship which is situated on the bottom of the screen. At the beginning of each stage, the area is empty, but over time, enemy aliens fly in formation, and once all of the enemies arrive on screen, they will come down at the player's ship in formations of one or more and may either shoot it or collide with it. During the entire stage, the player may fire upon the enemies, and once all enemies are vanquished, the player moves onto the next stage.

Galaga Hints, Tricks, Secrets and Walkthrough

Getting captured

One of the most interesting, unique, and useful features of Galaga is the tractor beam performed by the Boss Galagas. By doubling your firepower, this maneuver can give you the opportunity to achieve the maximum bonus in Challenging Stages. The entire sequence goes like this:

You survive the entrance section.
During mid-battle section, a Boss Galaga peels off and dives straight down in a markedly different pattern from the usual one-loop off the side.
The Boss Galaga stops two inches above the bottom of the screen.
A strange sound begins, and a fan shaped blue energy field emanates from the bottom of the Boss Galaga.
If your Fighter is not in range of the beam up field, eventually it retracts and the Boss Galaga drops straight down to return to formation.

If your Fighter is in range, it is caught and whirled up to rest beneath the Boss Galaga. At that point, the message 'FIGHTER CAPTURED' is displayed and the Boss Galaga returns to the top of the formation dragging your Fighter behind. A foreboding musical tune is played. If you have another Fighter, you begin playing with it. If you don't, the game is over. (Note: Never get captured when you're playing with your last Fighter.)

Don't destroy yourself

Now one of your Fighters is in the enemy formation. If you shoot your own Fighter, you get 1,000 points, but lose the extra Fighter--you don't want to do this under any circumstances. Be very careful where you shoot when you have a captured Fighter in formation. For instance, you can shoot at an enemy to the side of a captured Fighter, have the Fighter and its escort swoop off and run right into your shot.

If you shoot the Boss Galaga that captured your Fighter while it is in formation, eventually the captured Fighter will swoop down on you. Don't destroy it. It will disappear off the bottom of the screen and go away. But all is not lost; it will reappear as the last ship to enter on the next entrance screen. Be very cautious about shooting at the last wave of aliens when they enter! Your captured Fighter will appear at the tag end, then take its place at the top of the formation. Some players use this as a expert's technique to store a captured Fighter.

To the rescue

If your captured Fighter still has its Boss Galaga, it will eventually swoop down on you with its escort. It always follows the same pattern; it heads for one side or the other, with one loop in the middle. Be very patient, and do not try to hit the Boss Galaga in mid-flight; it is very easy to miss the enemy and hit your own Fighter! Wait until the Fighter is within an inch of the bottom, line up with it and hit the Boss Galaga exactly in the center.

If the Boss Galaga is green, you have to hit it twice to destroy it. If it is purple, you only need to hit it once. If you succeed in destroying the Boss Galaga, a marvelous thing happens, one of the greatest things about this game: your Fighter is freed and it joins your currently playing Fighter. Your firepower doubles.

Now stay alive

For those who have a difficult time staying alive due to the increased target area of the Double Fighters, try getting the Double Fighters for only the Challenging Stages. For those who are used to it, get it as quickly as possible on Stage 1 and use it thereafter until at least Stage 12. If you have a Double Fighter and it gets destroyed by accident, restore it until Stage 12 or above. Is the increased target area a liability? No, it actually helps you stay alive, for not many enemy ships make it through the entrance stage if you use your doubleship to its fullest most ferocious capabilities.

Note that when you free a captured Fighter, any enemies in mid-dive will return to formation. While this is happening, you have a free shot at the whole formation. Your captured Fighter will be suspended in mid-space spinning. It is invulnerable to your shots at this point and can not be destroyed until it joins you. Pick off as many enemies as possible in the formation. The Double Fighter gives you more firepower than a single Fighter. Use it wisely and watch your score grow.

Entrance patterns

The most important part of Galaga strategy is anticipation. In order to play effectively, you need to know where the enemies will appear and how they will move before they get there. This knowledge--combined with firepower of the Double Fighter--will allow you to finish each Stage quickly and efficiently.

The way that the enemies come onto the screen is called their entrance pattern, and the entrance pattern is always the same for a given Stage. There are three different entrance patterns. Before looking at the order they appear in, let's look at the features of each one.

First entrance pattern
The first entrance pattern is the most difficult because it is the only pattern where enemies will enter from both sides of the screen at the
