Galaga

As a spaceship moving left to right at the bottom of the screen, shoot up at enemies as they enter. If you allowed an alien to capture one of your ships in its tractor beam, you could shoot the foe later and double your fire power!

If you want to share photos of this great classic, post them inline here and show them off, talk about what restoration you may do to the cabinet.

I think all Galaga's should be turned into Multicades... What do you guys think?

 Can someone tell me the exact spacing on the 4 holes on the 4 joystick.  Center to center.

Does anyone know of a source for IC's for my galaga board. I have a few with broken legs. 0871 (x2), 0222, 0745, 0527 and 0039. Or should i just try to find a parts board?
Comment by Jon E. Klinkel on July 29, 2010 at 10:36am
Always maintain two ships. Try to play in the middle as much as possible and only go to the sides when absolutely necessary. Try to have all the red ones killed by the time they're ready to start coming down. If you want more pointers, come out and watch me play. ;) This is under the assumption you're not better than I am at it. lol

Posted this in repair but have gotten no response so I'm trying the real galaga people! I picked up a free galaga that was in such poor condition it was literally about to collapse. The only way I can describe the wiring is to say that the system had been violated. I am moving the electroncs into a new jamma cabinet and everything is going fine. I have a galaga to jamma adapter for the main boards but there is nothing that accomodates the rapid fire board. How do I work this in? Also what is the three pin connector on the cpu for? So far I've got sound, excellent video, and coin door but I haven't prepared the cp yet and I expect this rapid fire board to be an issue. I can't see how the fire button will work without that board. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Thanks.

Tip: don't let the bullets hit you

But seriously, I'm not one to give tips as I'm only a bit above 100K, but one of the keys is to maximize the challenging stages. Try to have two guys going into each one.

Congrats on the pickup.

Anyone got any galaga tips? High score is like 60k, the more I play I guess the better but are there any tips that can help
Comment by Nick *streetzking* on July 9, 2009 at 11:42am
Hey guys, picking up a galaga cocktail saturday if all goes well! I plan on putting in the AS board, anyone use the Mikes Arcade premade multigame panels in a cocktail?? I do not want to hack the galaga panels at all
Comment by Spyridon on April 27, 2009 at 3:57pm
I don't have a link but if you search the for sale section over on the KLOV forums, you will probably find someone selling them. I purchased two of them over there at that price. I also picked up a NOS one for $40.
Comment by Paul Olson on April 27, 2009 at 11:31am
Thanks for the link. There really are a lot of errors there, but as commented in that thread, they wouldn't be really noticeable until you know what to look for. I will pass on the pricing info as well. Do you have a link to find them at that price? I know he priced it based on what he found they normally sell for, so I am sure he would be interested.

BTW, it is amazing how similar Galaga and Gyruss are!
