Cybergoth Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hi there! I'm just wondering which of the series you think is best: Galaxian Galaga Gaplus Galaga '88 Galaxian3 Attack Of The Zolgear Please discuss Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatdan Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Everyone is going to say Galaga is the best, but I've got Galaxian in my blood or something. I just love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I personally liked Galaxian3 and Attack of the Zolgear. They still have one of these large 3 screen units set up at Funcastle in Nashua, New Hampshire which is not far away from where I live. Great game for its time. It's short, but there's no denying the fact that this was an awesome game to play with 5 friends (6 players simultaneous) and it had some cool polygonal graphics for its time. As for a "classic" version, I'd have to say Galaga is the version that holds up the best. Galaxian, in the arcades at least, is rather boring and I hate being limited to one missile fired at any given time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I'd have to go with Galaga and Galaga '88 Galaxian of course is also classic. I can't stand Gaplus. Galaxian3 is pretty much another category all by itself. wtf is Attack of the Zolgear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakogame 箱亀 Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 has anyone played the dos shareware game Galaxii? it's basically galaxian, but twice as good. never played galaxian3 or zologear, but Galaga 88 rocked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZ Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I just had to chime in on this one. The arcade version of Galaxian is ok.... but the version for the Atari 5200 is just awesome, I don't know why. Maybe it is those funky sounds the ships make when they go into formation attacks. and the rainbow text that is always shown. I have mame, and so I pretty much speak from knowledge on all the galaga, galaxian games out there. Galaxian does reward sharpshooting more than Galaga, galaga is all about getting that additional ship, and then kicking as much ass as possible before dying.

RCorcoran Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I'll chime in with Galaga. Galaxian was a great game, but for me, Galaga will always be the superior game. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfallaimee Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Galaxian. I only just recently played Galaga for the first time, and while I love it...I still say Galaxian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
