When, in the late 90s, the arcade in a nearby mall was closing down, they had a Galaga machine available for $100. I still kick myself that I didn't buy it.
@@LyonsArcade it never did continuous fire for me holding down the button Maybe there is a dip switch ? Which chip has to be swapped out ? Is it just a chip or does the chip.need programming ?
I love this game, but I remember this as a kid and I still remember growing up with this game. This game is way better than "Phoenix" and "Galaxian". This game is a way to go.
Joe's Classic Video Games Don't blame yourself. You IMHO did very well from what I just saw now in this video...and you're right, putting yourself in a corner will do nothing but set yourself up for destruction from those critters.
I just checked ... "Warblade" is the PC version name. www.warblade.as/index.asp Galaga on Amiga was so great - IS great to play.

I love this game and I remember when it first came out and the software defect where the ships would come down at hypersonic speed and crash into you and there was no way to move out of the way they fixed that with a software update and I don't know if they just replaced the chips or if they replace the whole board and I don't know what the versions were but I do know that the original version had that huge defect Do you know what version that update was ? I'm guessing if the original was 1.0 that this had to be 1.1 or 2.0 depending on how they number it for the updates and I think it was 1983 when they give the update 81 most arcades didn't have this game I remember 82 the defect was still there but by 84 I think all the machines had been updated
@@LyonsArcade I didn't see any version number. It might be in the code. Mame is the old program. I think the XBOX uses a linux emulator and Pi uses something else, I think.
Great video, I just purchased a Galaga machine, How do I tell what year it is? Also, are some of the original boards in the galaga machines worth more than others?
Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, and Galaga are my favorite games I have been looking for a USB controller that has the tracball, joysticks and button, to plug into XBOX There is a self contained console that is sold on eBay, S8 or something like that, but if I can use the USB console that is just the joysticks and buttons instead of buying the console S8 or Pandora I think is what they call it that has a pi in it I have seenvideos where people take a cabinet and put the pie in it and make a console with the USB joysticks and buttons and trackball but I'd really like to use my Xbox since I have the 4000 game software with all the arcade games that I love and space is very limited so that's another reason why I'd like to not have another piece of hardware that I don't really have room for if anybody is use those USB consoles that they sell for $30 on eBay if that works with an Xbox without any modifications I'd really like to know because I've got the cable that goes from the Xbox style connector to a female standard USB connector that I can plug the USB memory stick into so I can plug anything else USB into it but I'm not sure if the drivers are going to work with it or if I would need to load drivers to make it work and I'm not sure how well it would work Any help is greatly appreciated
Those are some weird glitches. Attract mode, the ship phased through a few shots and the bug, then the boss Galaga died, despite the ship already having stopped spinning (Unless it was frame perfect, but the game is supposed to send the ship back down if the boss Galaga is shot on the way down. The game I guess didn't know how to handle it, and since there were no more scrips for the player ship since the boss is gone, but it was also captured, so it was left onscreen. Not show or why that happened there.
I just went and looked on a 60 in 1. We turn one of the Galagas on Rapid Fire, and leave the other one on regular fire (Galaga is on the 60 in 1, twice). The one that has rapid fire turned on does exactly what this one does, but the one with rapid fire turned off like you said the shots move slower so different stuff gets hit. The one with the rapid fire off the boss ends up on the far right side, and catches the player... then shortly after that, the player retrieves the ship and has a double ship for awhile (then both are destroyed). So I think it's what you surmised, when the rapid fire is turned on it makes the characters on the attract screen, which was designed to show how to get your ship caught... makes the timing all off and it glitches. Interesting!
its funny seeing this lot of modern arcade machines are flat in your face sort of thing i prefer old ones like this lot people make them with flat screens now and it dusent look the same i want modern CRT arcade machine last time i played arcade machine it was called asteroids love that game
I have a Galaga game in a galaxian cabinet. Is the volume control located in the same spot on both games ? I’m looking in the board but I don’t see it so far 🤷
Hi guys, anyone know roughly what colour blue the original Galaga blue is. Trying to match it to something close but nothing looks right to my ancient eyes. I want to try and get it as close as possible a paint code or colour name. Any help appreciated :)
There should be a volume knob on the top corner of the game board inside, there's nothing to turn the sound off though it may have a fault where something isn't working right.
Thank you for the correction. I have a quesiton for you... I filmed this years ago, and you watched the whole thing... i'm serious about this, why did you feel like you needed to comment, and your only comment was to tell me I was wrong? There was nothing else you wanted to comment on? Did you think I'd somehow be able to go back in time and fix the mistake? Curious why people make a comment just to complain about things that can't be changed. You might want to give some thought to whether or not you do this in other areas of your life that mean something more than this, it might be holding you back.
You may be really good at the game, but I always thought that the difficulty curve of this game is so much slower than any other arcade game from that time. It gets really hard of course but it takes a long time. I wonder how this came to be in terms of profitability, I mean a game where the average play session may last for 10 minutes, as opposed to maybe 3 minutes for a game like Pac-Man (considering the average which includes beginners and not very skilled players).
I can't speak for everyone.... But I rather know the flaws of something before I buy it, especially if I really want it.. Rather than see them or figure them out after I buy it, and end up feeling Lied too or somehow Cheated because I would definitely return it.
I'm needing a little help with building my cabinet I'm building it based on Midway from 1981 based on the Pac-Man Ms Pac-Man galaga style cabinet. The thing that I'm needing help with is how far from the bottom of the cabinet is the bottom part of the monitor railing and how far from the bottom of the cabinet is the top of the monitor railing and how long is the rowing going along the sides already have mine mounted in but I feel that it is too high up I'm wanting a bit more of a precise height please help if anybody has a cabinet like this that they can quickly measure thank you.
Don't feel too bad, you'd be better if you owned one! I'm a little rusty since I filmed this video, looking back this was my best game ever pretty much!
Have you ever wondered what it is about your personality, that allows you to watch a 20 minute video, and then only make a negative comment about the main thing you didn't like in the video? Nothing positive to add, you just want to complain about one of the things you saw.
@@LyonsArcade Because nobody else mentioned it. It wasn't negative. If someone likes it that way then they're going to enjoy it. Your video is enjoyable and informative and you did a great job with the restoration.

That man is playing Galaga!
Thought we didn’t notice, but we did.
Good ol' Galaga!
Loved that game along with its trademark sound. Miss the 80's. Childhood memories. Glad to see fans of these pieces keep the dream alive.
Yes, it was one of the best ever, the sounds are one of the best parts of the game!
The 80s, late 70s, early 80s were the best years in my life
Wish I could go back. Every week I have moments when I wish I could be back there
I just bought the Arcade 1up version... Fantastic!
When, in the late 90s, the arcade in a nearby mall was closing down, they had a Galaga machine available for $100. I still kick myself that I didn't buy it.
I always see the ms Pac-Man and galaga combo machine but damn the galaga standalone looks really clean, great artwork
It's pretty nice!
I have never seen the rapid-fire option, not in the dip switch settings and I never knew that you could set the button to do that 👍
There's a continuous fire where you just hold it down but to make the bullets actually faster you need to swap out one of the chips :)
@@LyonsArcade it never did continuous fire for me holding down the button
Maybe there is a dip switch ?
Which chip has to be swapped out ?
Is it just a chip or does the chip.need programming ?

Yeah, I love it, one of my favorites of all time!
Yeah, I love it, one of my favorites of all time!
Nice cabinet, great new artwork.
Yeah, a true classic!
Plywood, stickers, able to rebuild as the real deal!
I'm basically a pro at Galaga and I've had so much fun with it!
I don't play enough to get very good...
Oh that's fine, I'm just loving Galaga so much also because of it's classic start up sound and tractor beams. :)

Thanks for uploading this! It was a nice reference for a Father's day card I am making :)
I can't wait for my galaga to arrive in a half a week.
Man your score is going to double once you own one!
I have an update in 2 days it will now come in my garage because I don't have enough space in my home
That was an insane run
Awww, thanks!
Awesome mate! Lovely cabinet! Nice quality art work!
Thanks Dominic, we appreciate it... it's a real classic!
i played galaga on my Amigas night and nights ... sometimes a whole day long ...
there also was a pc version from the same author
Very cool, I've never played that version!
I just checked ... "Warblade" is the PC version name.

Thank you Wamauro!
Yes, Namco has made may ports of Galaga.
You're pretty good at Galaga if I don't say so...
cool, great video! I used to love playing this.
+Pingu One of the best games ever, to this day.
Nice ! Just got one from 1981 for 500 bucks !
Great deal!
I have one of the newer cardboard ones..it's pretty decent. If you set the difficulty at hard it plays at the correct speed. Pretty good rom I think

От этого глаза не оторвеш Like!!!
Very fun game!
he said he sucked it would of been hilarious if he made it to a kill screen
If I did, I would have kicked over the camera and done a DX crotch chop to the screen!
you have to be real good to make a kill screen it like level 255
Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, and Galaga are my favorite games
I have been looking for a USB controller that has the tracball, joysticks and button, to plug into XBOX
There is a self contained console that is sold on eBay, S8 or something like that, but if I can use the USB console that is just the joysticks and buttons instead of buying the console S8 or Pandora I think is what they call it that has a pi in it
I have seenvideos where people take a cabinet and put the pie in it and make a console with the USB joysticks and buttons and trackball but I'd really like to use my Xbox since I have the 4000 game software with all the arcade games that I love
and space is very limited so that's another reason why I'd like to not have another piece of hardware that I don't really have room for
if anybody is use those USB consoles that they sell for $30 on eBay if that works with an Xbox without any modifications I'd really like to know because I've got the cable that goes from the Xbox style connector to a female standard USB connector that I can plug the USB memory stick into so I can plug anything else USB into it but I'm not sure if the drivers are going to work with it or if I would need to load drivers to make it work and I'm not sure how well it would work
Any help is greatly appreciated
Man unfortunately I don't know much about those but maybe someone will read this and know...
"I'm not very good at this" proceeds to kill the game... :D
Thanks for watching David!
I wish I can play galaga on a cocktail cabinet.
Check this out! ruclips.net/video/xhbYC37FhtQ/видео.html
4:39 is what you're here for
I play better than i remember :)
I like the 20 year reunion ms pac man & galaga arcade game
it's a very cool machine, I agree with you!
1:39 Is that a glitch in attract? the red butterfly phased through the player in the attract screen. Never caught that before!
Those are some weird glitches. Attract mode, the ship phased through a few shots and the bug, then the boss Galaga died, despite the ship already having stopped spinning (Unless it was frame perfect, but the game is supposed to send the ship back down if the boss Galaga is shot on the way down. The game I guess didn't know how to handle it, and since there were no more scrips for the player ship since the boss is gone, but it was also captured, so it was left onscreen. Not show or why that happened there.
It' also got rapid fire and autofire enabled. Maybe that has to do with it, since the shots would have hit enemies at different times in the attract.
I just went and looked on a 60 in 1. We turn one of the Galagas on Rapid Fire, and leave the other one on regular fire (Galaga is on the 60 in 1, twice). The one that has rapid fire turned on does exactly what this one does, but the one with rapid fire turned off like you said the shots move slower so different stuff gets hit.

You may know too, but there's also a glitch in the game that allows you to take control of the ship during the attract mode.
It has the fast shoot hack.
got my birthdate on it. love this game.
One of the greatest games of all the times :) Thank you for watching Magnus!
I played the nes version of galaga and I played the new galaga game by raw thrills and they were awesome 🎮
Definitely awesome!
@@LyonsArcade yeah I know but I haven't played the original galaga in the arcade
Stop by our shop, i'l let you play it!
@@LyonsArcade if I have a passport to travel to you're location because I live in puerto Rico
I'm in South Carolina I don't know all the rules but Puerto Rico is a territory of the US pretty sure you don't even need a passport :)

Treasure, It Is
Galaga Best shoot¨em up game ever.
its funny seeing this lot of modern arcade machines are flat in your face sort of thing i prefer old ones like this lot people make them with flat screens now and it dusent look the same i want modern CRT arcade machine last time i played arcade machine it was called asteroids love that game
Midway game is better but i get that this one is the original,the other one added hard stages better sounds and that.
Thanks for watching Helltio!
Does it had a T molding or was it just paint?
Yes it has a T Molding slot all the way around the edge.
39 anniversary of galaga
Such a classic!
You're good!
Aw shucks.
my best i ever remember getting on this game is 384900
That's massive, man!

I have a Galaga game in a galaxian cabinet. Is the volume control located in the same spot on both games ? I’m looking in the board but I don’t see it so far 🤷

Hi guys, anyone know roughly what colour blue the original Galaga blue is. Trying to match it to something close but nothing looks right to my ancient eyes. I want to try and get it as close as possible a paint code or colour name. Any help appreciated :)
Hi I recently bought one for my father for Christmas but when it arrived the sound is switched off. Could you help me with how you turn the sound on?

Non original as it has the fast shoot hack...
Does the speed hack work on this game? The code is ⬅️ ➡️ ⬅️ ➡️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ fire
It only works on the Namco version from the 2000's the original machine it doesn't work on
