Sega Galaga

Developer: Namco

Galaga on the Sega Master System distills the arcade's irresistible fixed-screen shooter action into a compact console package. Players face wave after wave of insectoid aliens that fly in formation, dive-bomb, and use tractor beams to capture your ship. The Master System port keeps the emphasis on precision, scoring and pattern memorization: rescuing a captured craft for dual shots is a key risk-reward tactic. Tight controls, brittle hitboxes, and escalating enemy choreography create a relentless, score-chasing experience that still thrills with its chippy soundtrack and old-school challenge—perfect for quick sessions or long nostalgic runs.
