I won’t try, you’re right.

>>5856962
Just because it introduced the world to famous characters doesn't make it a better game

>>5856969
true, it is a better game because it is a better game

Check out Galaga Arrangement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1xdzn27Ayw

It adds a lot of very cool enemy patterns and variety while still feeling very much like Galaga. It's great.

I can't comment on how it plays, but they turned it into something ugly.

>>5857062
Galaga 90 for the TG16 is fun
I loved Galaga Legions DX too. Underrated game.

maybe if there weren't multiple extremely influential rpgs (wizardry, ultima) and strategy games (utopia, eastern front (1941)) released that year, but otherwise, sure

>>5856982
not him but donkey kong sucks.

>>5856956
Won't disagree, but i'd have to say it's a tossup between this and Ms. Pacman. Those two are often included on the same machine for a reason, they will never not be fun.

>>5856962
Top kek, that fucking Popeye Mario.

You know something, YOU suck

>Galaga 90 for the TG16
This should just be a port of the arcade Galaga 88.

>>5858105
it's the first platformer so it gets some credit at least

>>5858283
>the first platformer

>>5858347
what's an earlier game where you play as a character that jumps around on platforms?

For me, it's Swoop.

>>5858364
space panic, get your shit straight.

>>5858398
can you even jump in Space Panic?

>>5858405
you can't, anon is full of shit. donkey kong is the first platformer

>>5858405
no you can't but thats not what defines a platformer, it was the first of the kind.
>>5858410
wrong.

>>5858105
Why do you think it sucks?

>>5858416
dilate

>>5858824
shakes my head

>Tries to do the Captured Figther trick to get a double shoot
>Accidentally destroys the captured ship instead of releasing it.
Okay.

>>5858269
Yeah, it's a bit confusing. It got a worldwide release as Galaga 88 in arcades. 88 was ported to the PC Engine. TG16 came out in the US in the 2nd half of 1989. Calling it 88 would make it seem dated, so they renamed it Galaga 90.
Then it was ported to the Game Gear as Galaga 91, except in Europe where it was simply called Galaga 2. So between the arcade original and the home ports, it goes by 4 different names.
Back to the PCE/TG16 port... From what I've gathered, it's not entirely arcade perfect but it is a fantastic conversion.

>>5858390
I don't think that's from 1981

How about a game that can keep you occupied the whole year?

>>5859242
Donkey Kong has kept people occupied for 40 years

>>5856956
Why argue with truth?

>>5859242
oh uh i'm not too familiar with that lol maybe i shouldn't have made this thread

>>5858235
O DOYLE RULES

>>5861409
at least learn all the major games from a year before you say what hte best one is -____-

>>5861651
He did ask you to change his mind

>>5859003
It's weird to call it "Galaga 2" when Galaga was basically Galaxian 2, and Gaplus was already third in line followed by Galaga 88. Galaga 88 was really Galaxian 4

>>5863357
You know what's even weirder? Midway changing Gaplus's name to Galaga 3 when it failed to gain traction in arcades.

>>5863502
That is screwy. Makes me want to find some missing in-between game. Maybe this oddity can be sorted by treating the names as if they were subtitles.

Galaga 1 : Galaxian
Galaga 2 : Galaga
Galaga 3 : Gaplus
Galaga 4 : Galaga 88

I don't know if that is what they had in mind, but it would auto-sort sequential in a menu.
