Synopsis

Galaga is a vertical arcade shooter from Namco. You control a space fighter at the bottom of the screen, scrolling left and right in order to avoid oncoming bombs and kamikaze attacks from the alien invaders - and fire your own missiles to fight back!

There are an infinite number of steps to take. Every third level is a "challenge stage" in which you have a free chance to shoot as many aliens as possible and accumulate bonus points.

Some aliens have tractor beams that they can use to capture one of your ships. If this wasn't your last "life", you can try to take down this alien and take back your ship, giving you two ships at once and doubling your firepower.

A summary screen appears when the game is completed, giving you both your final score and your final "hit rate" - the number of missiles fired, enemies destroyed, and percentage of targets hit.
