Is it still worth playing?
You control the starship Gyaraga at the bottom of the screen and have to stop the Galaga forces from destroying all of mankind in this 1981 fixed shooter for arcades. Each stage is cleared by defeating all the aliens, which fly into formation from the top and sides of the screen and dive toward the player while shooting. Four large Boss Galaga sit atop the formation and take two shots to destroy. They can capture the player's ship with a tractor beam and carry it to the top of the formation, which costs a life. If lives remain, the player can shoot the Boss Galaga holding the captured ship and rescue it, which gives a dual fighter with more firepower. Even now, rescuing a captured ship for double the firepower is a goal worth chasing.
