In each version, we show a full level and a few seconds of gameplay with the double ship (sometimes in the Challenging Stage).
In this video, we show the evolution of Galaga over the years through its many ports.
Which are your favorite Galaga ports?
Some versions that were later included in compilations for the same systems and have been excluded. For example, the Game Boy port was rereleased Game Boy Namco Gallery Vol. 1 and the Xbox 360 port in Namco Museum Virtual Arcade.
The Version Comparison series only shows licensed ports of the games, so don't expect to see any clones, homebrews or hacks (although we could add it from time to time if we see fit). Anyway, if you like the video, we can make a separate one dedicated to unofficial versions in the future for our Clones Comparison series. If you know of any, don't hesitate to post it in the comments.
