Is it still worth playing?
A starship named the Blast Fighter is launched to destroy the hostile Galaga forces and their home planet in this 1987 arcade fixed shooter, released in North America and Europe. The Galaga aliens fly into formation from the top and sides of the playfield. They dive toward the bottom of the screen to hit the player, and colliding with an alien or its projectile costs a life. Four larger enemies, the Boss Galaga, sit atop each formation and take two hits to destroy. They can capture the player's ship with a tractor beam and carry it to the top of the screen, and the player reclaims it by shooting the Boss Galaga that holds it while it dives. Rescuing a ship in mid-dive is a risk that is still worth taking.
