Galaga Arrangemnet is the 6th edition in the Galaga sub-series. It is a fixed shooter arcade game featured in the 1995 arcade cabinet Namco Classic Collection vol. 1.
Gameplay
The player moves at the bottom of the screen shooting at formation attacks above, idendical to it's predecessor. Like most Galaga games, the game allows the player to have their ship caught in a Boss Galaga's tractor beam, then free it by destroying the Galaga fighter which in turn gives the player a specific powerup.
Powerups
These are the powerups that can be collected ingame by being captured and then freed from Boss Galagas.
Standard Fighter - This is the fighter that the player is given at the beginning of the game. It has no special abilities. If it is captured by a Boss Galaga, the powerup given will be different depending on what Boss Galaga captured it.
Wide Beam: Fires wide laser beams that can hit multiple targets at once or help to extend the range of the player, making it easier to hit smaller targets. This powerup is given by a blue Boss Galaga moth.
Fast Shot - Allows the player to rapidly fire up to four shots at one time, unlike all other fighters only allowing two shots at once. This powerup is given by a yellow Boss Galaga butterfly.
Richochet Shot - The most powerful of all powerups, this one awards the player with the ability to fire three shots simultaneously. The first shot fires straight forward, while the other two fire diagonally from the front corners of each side. These shots ricochet off of the sides of the playing screen. This powerup is given by a red Boss Galaga ladybug.
