About This Game
Galaga '90 introduces the 'Galactic Dancing' formation where enemies perform elaborate patterns before attacking, adding strategic depth to the classic formula.
The Triple Fighter power-up allows players to control three ships simultaneously, creating devastating firepower at the cost of a larger hitbox.
This version includes the new 'Dimension Warp' stages that transport players to alternate battlefields with unique enemy behaviors.
While maintaining the core gameplay of the original, Galaga '90 is considered one of the best console-exclusive iterations in the series.
