Today is Galaga Day on Live
Galaga is available today at 1am PDT on Xbox Live Arcade for a mere 400 points. Here’s a rundown of what you’ll get for that and a bit of ol’ history for your enjoyment:
* Classic Galaga shooter action is back!
* Over 250 levels
* 12 unique Achievements
* Earn Perfect Bonuses and increase your fighter status
* Full worldwide Leaderboards
* Unique Dual Fighter combination attack mode
* Original music and sound effects
I have a fond memory of Galaga as a kid. When I was about 8-9 years old, Galaga was in the form of a tabletop game in a pub that my relative worked at. They were “babysitting” me as a favor and kept me distracted by feeding me some chocolate fudge brownies and Galaga quarters until I got sick of it, or sick myself. Well I didn’t get sick of the game and 3 hours later I was still playing. I had to be dragged away from the machine in a hissy fit. I will try this game today and see if it still has the same effect on me – I’ll just avoid the childish behavior in an effort to keep my wife from giving me a weird look.
Oh and If you’d like to make your own Galaga arcade out of paper, here are the necessary documents and instructions.
