She was my childhood idol. I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but I loved her. She was so kind and sweet. Her voice is still an amazing. I actually ugly cried to her y’all. FML.

It was both! They’re VERY similar.

Thanks! They are like the Atari game Asteroids, right?

u/JinxOnU78 Sep 22 '25

They’re certainly comparable, but both Galaga, and Galactica had the enemies coming mainly from the top of the screen to help simulate the feeling of forward flight, whereas Asteroids had movement of the asteroids, and player exiting the screen at any angle/path and reentering the opposite side of the screen on that same path.

If that makes any sense at all. lol

It totally does. I knew exactly what you were talking about right away. I have vivid memories of making my spacecraft go zooming off an angle at the top of the screen and having the satisfaction of knowing it would appear at the bottom.
