Live Arcade – Galaga

Galaga 

1981 seems like such a short time doesn’t it?  Are you ready to revisit another classic?  This Wednesday, Namco Bandai’s Galaga will be flying to a Marketplace near you.  Released first in 1981, Galaga put you right in the middle of an alien war. 

With its release in the Marketplace, you’ll get an assortment of multiplayer modes as well as enhanced graphics and those fan-favorite Achievements.  Get ready for those crazy aliens swooping down to destry your fighter.  Get ready for the beam to capture one of your fighters only to regain it for some double fighter shooting action!

If you’re ready, then prepare your 400 Microsoft points because Galaga is upon us!

    To me the only sad part is that I bought that Arcade Classics pack that was out for the old Xbox. Now it seems like I am buying the same things agian. Obviously the game hasn’t changed or improved any.

    yeah that’s why i’ll always be on the fence with these retro releases. pacman will be no different..i’ll debate it for a long time…unless i get picked for the party in a box thing..then i’ll have free points to use :)

    Galaga is certainly one of my favorite arcade games ever. Along with Defender, Space Invaders and Pac Man buying them is an easy decision for me.

    I got Namco Museum Classics when I got my PSOne that has Galaga,
    Pole Position, Ms. Pac Man, and another old school game. Since I don’t
    have an XBOX or XBOX live I guess I’ll stick with the one I have.
    Don’t see the difference though.

    hey GameSkillz, if i get picked to host one of these Arcade parties by Microsoft, then i’m inviting you over so you can get in on the Arcade goods that XBLA has to offer. and you can even have a slice of the free pizza they’ll provide.
