  This game is one of the main reasons why I built my own arcade machine 22 years ago. Still got it and play it to this day. Jackal and XX Mission are another two big reasons.

  My dad and I used to play this game at any arcade we went to.  I miss my dad so much. He's been passed longer than he was here. But he raised me right.  I'll see you soon dad. We'll all be together again

  One of the games of my youth. Such a great time in the Arcade Pit in my town.

  I was 6 in 1982, the passing of a year felt forever; as an adult they now - relatively - fly by. It was so nice to experience the 80&apos;s a - classic decade - and the now shortlived &nbsp;golden era of the gaming arcade in <b>slow motion</b> .

  Another Namco space shooting game that is like Galaga but it’s also a spin-off. It’s called Cosmo Gang: The Video.

  Many years ago I worked security at Midway Bally manufacturing, the company that built the stand up arcade versions of Galaga. On the night shift I would fire up a brand new game and play Galaga in between doing my rounds. I had a blast! When you play these in a store or arcade locations it cost your spare change, but when you got to play as much as you wanted for free, it made it even more fun. The keys for the coin box door were in them so you just opened the machine and clicked up a bunch of credits with the microswitch that the quarters would hit when someone would play the game. I even got to see them being built on the assembly line. It was interesting watching the quality control people test and adjust the machine to make sure it was playing and working right. At full boogie, the Bally workers could build up to 60 games per hour! I got to play every Bally arcade game they made including all of the pinball games. Great memories and it made those boring night shifts pass by a lot quicker.

  I can&apos;t believe Galaga hasn&apos;t been done before now. But sometimes good things take time, and this episode was well worth the wait!
