History YMMV / Galaga

** In ''Galaga '88'', the themes for the bonus stages as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWHTfGsIEgU Tango]]

** There's also the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kxNd8WCEII Galaga Medley]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', which is a medley of all the very little amount of music and sound effects the game has to offer, put into a full blown song.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong : Galaga's theme song sounds similar to some few notes from the ''Franchise/StarWars'' theme song.

* SequelDisplacement: Far more successful and well-known than it's predecessor, ''Galaxian''.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Good luck finding someone who's at least heard of the sequels. Subverted in that this is actually the second installment, with ''Galaxian'' being the first.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Galaga Arrangement, part of ''Namco Classics Collection Vol. 1'', has a surprisingly incredible soundtrack. Particular mention goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWm1a4LzK6s Nebula Zone]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkVEfvra1Vc King Galaspark]].

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: The triple ship legend. However, it was finally made possible in Galaga '88.

** It is possible to kill two enemies in a single shot and thus have a hit ratio of over 100%, up to 200% if you only make one-bullet double hits or don't fire anymore. [[AwesomeButImpractical Not that having a >100% ratio is any useful to scoring.]]

** Enemies can be made to stop firing completely in ''Galaga''. This is done by killing all but the two left-most enemies on the first stage. Their rate of fire will gradually decrease over the span of about 15 minutes, to nothing [[note]]This is due to them firing shots at X-coordinate 0 which do not move and clog up the 8 memory buffers reserved for tracking the locations of shots[[/note]]. It will stay this way the rest of the game.

** [[LoveItOrHateIt The jury is out]] on the [[NintendoHard maddeningly difficult]] ''Gaplus'', but the features it added (''your own'' TractorBeam that you can use to convert enemy fighters to your side) are pretty neat.

* EvenBetterSequel: To VideoGame/{{Galaxian}}.
** Galaga '88 to the first Galaga, to those who actually played it.
* FirstInstallmentWins: Good luck finding someone who's at least heard of the sequels. Subverted in that this is actually the second installment, with Galaxian being the first.
* MostWonderfulSound: The special jingle that plays if you shoot down every enemy in a Challenging Stage.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Good luck finding someone who's at least heard of the sequels.

** Averted, if you think about Galaga as a sequel to {{Galaxian}}.
