I heard John mention that he might be getting a Galaga and I personally think Galaxian is a better basement game. What do you guys think?

I voted for Galaga, great title with a lot of depth. couldn't go for Galaxian because it's sound effects annoy me after a round or two.

I voted for Galaxian, its one of my favorite games! Did not understand it at first thou, but once you get in to it i think its less "spray and pray" than the competition.

I like both games but Galaga to me is just so much more refined!

But Galaga is more boring for me personally because it is so easy where Galaxian is much more challenging which makes it a better game for me. I also think Galaxian is one of the best cabinets ever.

Galaga is king I find galaxian a bit boring after a while but it's a iconic game If you have room for both then that's great. Personally I prefer space invaders part two of galaxian

My opinion on this has changed.
I am a diehard for games in this genre. And I have a space invaders, Galaxian, Galaga, Gaplus, and Galaga '88 cabinet as well as a bunch of board of other games.
When I got into this hobby I was of the opinion that Galaga was the best and that Galaxian was boring. Galaga was the first game I got.
Then I got a Gaplus and realized how much deeper it is.
Then I got a Galaga '88 because I always wanted one.
Then I got a space invaders for free and then I found a beautiful Galaxian.
Now that I have all of them I can say I appreciate Galaxian more than Galaga, it is show in the beginning but it ramps up and requires precision.
Galaga isn't bad but it is much more of button masher, and I'm that sense Gaplus is better than Galaga.
Galaga '88 is a masterpiece that I adore to play, and Galaga arrangement is a downgrade even though it came out after 88.
Another great game in the series is Cosmo Gang the Video. Think Galaga meets paridus.
If I were to rank them it would be like this:
Galaxian Galaga '88 Gaplus Galaga Space Invaders Galaga Arrangement
I will leave out the rarer games like Cosmo, and SI '95, even though I love them.

Did you beat it? what level did you warp to? if you are bored with 88 you will find that regular Galaga isn't more exciting.
