If only!
I’ll say this is an Amiga screenshot, as I figure it looks a bit generic.
Obviously its Galaga '90
:)
Super Commodore Galaga
Nope, getting closer though!
Somebody guessed it in private, so I have good hopes!
I am really not sure, Galaga ST?
You haven’t revealed anything more in the screenshot? Does that mean you lose and have to tek another one?
ps I googled which game contained Galaga.
Hopefully whoever guessed it in private will step forward, otherwise it looks like you lost this one. :)
I guessed it in private but I googled “galaga on Amiga” so I have to rule myself out.
“Amigalaga.”
That’s an amazing name.
I am so disappointed in you.
It was Deluxe Galaga, but I would have taken Warblade as well, as this is the name this Amiga shareware was released and ported to PCs.
It was evoked recently in the Skyforce Reloaded thread, and upon looking up, I discovered its author, Edgar M. Vigdal, passed away four years ago while he was still working on Warblade 2.
If you never played, it is well worth trying: the game is much more complex than its simple look may evoke, and it was quite amazing at the time.
There seems to be an history of rejection linked to the addiction it causes, not unlike Diablo 2 or other such games, so be careful.
I’ve read that site and watched a YouTube video of it… But I don’t see the addictive properties. It looks like most other shmups!
I guess it’s loved by the same people who love Jeff Minter games?
I don’t get Jeff Minter’s games appeal, so I can’t tell you. They have loads of secrets. You can also get ahead of the power curve (mostly if you know what you are doing, I gather, never really got to that point), which always give a warm feeling.
And well, the game just feels right: it doesn’t have that cheap Western knockoff feel of almost all Japanese shooter clones.
Double Dragon?
Guacamelee ?
Oh, nice guess! But nope.
