About this product

Product Information

The first console port of the greatest arcade shooter of all time, Galaga for the Atari 7800 is somewhat of a failure in terms of being a pure adaptation. The ship is too small, the stars aren't colorful, and overall the game lacks the gusto and the graphic vibrancy of its progenitor. In addition, the home version allows for continuous fire by holding down the button, something the original game wisely avoided. On the brighter side, the sound effects and enemies follow roughly the same patterns as their coin-op counterparts, and the shooting action, while not as intense or as crisp, does maintain some of its fun factor.

The item was new in box just as advertised. The shipment was packed well and arrived in good order. I was happy with the price for the Mill Creek and for the shipping. Overall, a great experience from this seller and would purchase from this seller in the future.

Game cartridge in good condition and as described plays well, really enjoying Donkey Kong 7800, a blast from the past. As with deliveries from USA to GB took 13 days from purchase which is good, and seller posted next day so was as quick as possible, it seems to have to go through so many logistics hubs and custom processes on the way. Still annoyed that in the UK we have to pay 20% VAT tax on both item and postage which makes it more expensive. But seller, communication and item was great.

  • Arcade level graphics and sound in need of better control.

    In terms of graphics, the Atari 7800 version of GALAGA is almost the original arcade game. This was no small feat for a mid 80's console! Sound is surprisingly good too! Where it lacks is gameplay...this may be due to the consoles poorly designed controllers though. Overall, one of the must have games for the Atari 7800!

  • galaga

    Galaga is an awesome conversion of the 1984 arcade classic. It makes a great transition from the arcade to your 7800 pro system. Your part of the intergalactic warrior fleet. Your duty is to stop the galagans from over taking earth. Long, long ago there was an interstellar war and the galagans lost their grip on the planets in which they controlled. One by one the galagans retake all the plants one by one. Now they are ready to take yours! Jump into your star fighter and unleash a storm of later fire. They will break out of formation and race at you in a kamikaze style attack. They don't care to sacrifice their own in attempt to reclaim your world. The action is fast. The colors are vibrant and the enemies are well detailed. When the galaga song plays you'll catch yourself tapping your ...

  • Not the best, but stll awesome

    Atari usually did a decent job in porting arcade hits onto their home consoles, and this game is no exception. Sure, the sound effects aren't that great and the game does show it's age at times, but at it's croe it's still Galaga; and Galaga s still mad fun and addicting. If you have an Atari 8700, you can't go wrong with picking up this title.

  • Great game

    Similar to the arcade. same concept and play.
