Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Based on the classic 1980s arcade game, Galaga will have players once again blasting wave after wave of aliens as a lone starfighter pilot. The alien invaders have already destroyed the rest of the fleet, and it is now up to you to stop their advance towards Earth. While the game is set in a 3-D universe, players can still choose the classic top-down view, as well as behind-the-ship and side-scrolling views. There are 10 levels, each containing different challenges and bonus rounds. During the course of the game, players can collect new weapons to add to their arsenal, including aliens.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT Arcade Galaga, November 26, 2001

The write up on this game makes it sound like it is related to the classic arcade Galaga. Don't be fooled. This is an awful game, with poor, non-representative graphics, and bears absolutely no resemblance to the classic arcade game.

1.0 out of 5 stars not the Galaga I know, January 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Galaga (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

If you want the old Galaga, this isn't it!!
I wish I had read these reviews before I bought it. As some others said, it starts out like the old arcade game but then it morphs into a 3-D type game that I found nearly impossible to navigate using the keyboard.

I purchased this game thinking it was similar to the arcade game. Boy was I fooled. Starts OK but the game is not at all like the classic arcade game.
