Galaga '88 is an enhanced sequel to the classic space shooter Galaga. Players pilot a starfighter and battle waves of alien enemies in deep space, using fast reflexes to shoot down formations, avoid enemy fire, and rescue captured ships. Featuring colorful graphics, multiple power-ups, and branching levels, it builds on the original with more depth and replayability.
A subgenre of action games where the player controls a lone character or vehicle (often a spaceship), constantly firing at waves of enemies while dodging their attacks. It emphasizes precision, quick reactions, and screen awareness.
A type of shoot 'em up where the player’s movement is restricted to a single axis (usually the bottom of the screen), with enemies attacking from above in patterns or formations.
Designed for quick, challenging gameplay in public arcade cabinets. Arcade games emphasize scoring, short sessions, and increasingly difficult levels to encourage replay.
