Galaga '88 is a 1987 fixed shooter arcade game by Namco. It is the third sequel for Galaxian (following Galaga, and Gaplus). It features significantly improved graphics over the previous games in the series, including detailed backgrounds, larger enemies and greater ship details. The game runs on Namco System 1 hardware.
Galaga '88 was not as commercially successful as its predecessors, but was greatly praised for its gameplay, graphics, and music. Reviewers complemented its new enhancements that changed and innovated the core gameplay, and for standing out among other games at the time. It has been ported to many home consoles, such as the TurboGrafx-16, and is included in many Namco compilations. It was followed by Galaxian3: Project Dragoon in 1990.
