I have a bugreport to V1.06. At the moment, this nice version of Galaga, is one of the games, that is being played intensively by several people, in a competition on the Forum64.A few of the players encountered two bugs in Galaga, that only occur relatively rarely, but are undoubtedly present.I will describe these briefly, so that they can possibly be fixed in a final V1.07 version.
(1) In rare cases, one million points are added to the current player-score, without a real reason.
(2) Also in rare cases, the game freezes, after a level and you are left, floating alone in space without a new level starting.At first it was assumed, that this bug only occurs, when a player has shot down all the enemies, before they can position themselves in the field.But this is not the case. It has been proven in the meanwhile (via screenshot), that it also sometimes occurs, when there are still enemies in the field.A screenshot was posted in Forum64, where two enemies at the top and the player's spaceship below, can be seen and the game froze (is no longer playable).
These are the two problems, that were discovered. Apart from that, this version is by far the best Galaga version on the C64. It would be great, if these two things could be fixed, so that you can use this game in competitions without any risk. At the moment, it's of course annoying, if you have a great score and then one of these two bugs occurs. They occur only rarely, but of course you never know, when.
I can't move in 1.06 after completion of a level. Ship moes if new level is on. Using a real PAL C128. Anyway, in Arcade Galaga, you could move. Important for a challenging stage and such.
Very nice conversion with good playability. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:21:30. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Thanks for the update, Arlasoft. This is the final version of "Galaga" for me now! Game is great and now finally all problems are wiped out. Good work, much appreciated.
By the way. You also did alot good Atari-2600 conversions to the C64, i saw. If you ever have time and leisure for another one, a 1-to-1 port of the Atari-2600 version of "Phoenix" to the C64, would be an absolutely fantastic thing. I am a big big fan of this game since my childhood. I know it differs from the Arcade version of "Phoenix", but it is a fantastic game of it's own on the Atari-2600. Just a suggestion of course. :-)

Great version. If only we'd had this in the BBS days. Thank you.
Thanks very much, love the game cover :)
Very nice version. I’m impressed!
Great Game! But...
I can't move in 1.06 after completion of a level. Ship moes if new level is on. Using a real PAL C128. Anyway, in Arcade Galaga, you could move. Important for a challenging stage and such.
Continue the great work!

I've always loved Galaga and I have it on my NES emulator.
Looking at this, if it plays as good as it looks, I'm in heaven.
Anybody played the Donkey Kong Jr for the 64? Or Sonic (REU)?
Have fun! c
Very sweet conversion, update fixes previous niggles. Top job. Thank you!
