"While the original Galaxian brought the shooter to new levels (in fact, it brought the first true RGB colors to an arcade game), the refined, polished, and deeper Galaga perfected this irresistible arcade shooter. New enemy ships, different patterns, and the ability to free a captured Galaga ship enabled players to shoot using dual ships, creating a new dimension for the game. Instantly accessible, this coin-op game is just as much fun to play now as it was in 1981. It's just as deep, skill-based, and tantalizing as it ever was, and you'll never forget the simple trademark sound effects." - IGN
