Galga Fans: You'll Just Have to Keep Waiting

I bought this game so I could have my beloved Galaga in the "palm of my hand." I force fed quarters into many Galaga machines during my high school days and it was my favorite arcade game. I was good.

However, with this game, the screen is just too damn small! A good chunk of your playing area is taken up by the scoring display. My old eyes can't play this game at the higher levels as it moves too fast to keep up with the tiny display. I did buy the "new" version of Galaga that came out for GBC about two years ago and found it so easy to beat that I finished the whole game in about 20 minutes and never played it again. I was equally disappointed with 1942. Why they seem to make old games "easier" to play is a myster to me (found the same thing with Space Invaders).

If Nintendo or somebody ever came out with a Galaga of the original game for the GBA that increased the sizing portion of the play area, I'd buy it in a second.

Great fun

I really enjoy the games because they are not so hard that I can't figure them out. That is why I am having fun!!

Great fun for 4 year old learning to use GameBoy, as well as his Dad!

We purchased this for my 4 year old son who wanted a Game Boy just like his big brother. I thought the games would be simple enough for him to navigate, since he had never used a Game Boy before. He loves it! The only problem is that I can't get the game away from my husband - who has now mastered Pole Position, a feat he could not do as a teenager. Great games, and lots of memories!

I bought this game for my 9-year old daughter for her Nintendo DS and she absolutely loves it. Whenever she plays, this is the game she chooses most often!!!

MS. Pac-Man?

Galaga, Pole Position, and Dig Dug are all great choices, but why not regular Pac-man instead of Ms. PAc-Man. But these games are still awesome even if there are only four of them.

Cool, but not very fun.

This game is really good! But it is a little annoying. YOu can't save!!! That is the only thing that makes it not fun.

I bought this game thinking it was a cheap game. When i played it it brought memories of the arcade up-rites that they had at the Pavilion in Myrtle Beach in my younger days. The Ms Pac-Man was the best and Dig Dug was also. The other 3 games i plade on the arcades and on the artari 2600. This is quiet a bit of nastalgia. Hours of FUN and ENJOYMENY at a very reasonable price. Check out the other games that i have rated Donkey Kong Country 2 , Legend of Zelda. ALL ARE GOOD....ENJOY

This game is very true to it's promise, it is exactly like all the old arcade games I remember as a kid. But there is one major flaw that prevents it from being perfect: A lack of a battery to save your high scores(plust it only saves the top score w/ no initials :( ) If they would have implemented that, this game would be a definite 5 star, but as it is right now, its still nice to have a portable 80's arcade with you!

should've been a 5-star, but no saved high scores! :(

All gamers (of legal drinking age) are well-aware of the 80s' classic arcade games contained in this release. These are basically true to life reincarnations of those 20-some-year-old arcade classics, but this game misses the boat bigtime by not offering a High-Score save!

All the code is there, (as you can enter in your initials) they just neglected to add a battery save function to save your high scores. Nothing is better than having a friend brag about his Ms. Pac-Man score, and then schooling him on his own game, and removing his initials from the #1 spot.. Sadly, this is a crucial part of 1980s arcading which is missing from this cart - the moment you turn off the GBA, all the high scores are gone - d'oh! Had they added the high-score saving feature, this would easily be a 5-star, must-own GBA cart. Hopefully in the future, publishers won't neglect this crucial, replay-adding feature.
