====== Galaga ======

An earlyish top-scrolling shooter. We've run across a number of working cabinets in the last few years (as of 2022) and played it at home as well. Learning the alien patterns is fun and so is competing for a high score.

Has mildly broken into popular culture. I read a book about this game: [[:books:Galaga]].  It features prominently in the short story [[https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/i-was-a-teenage-space-jockey/|"I Was a Teenage Space Jockey"]] by Stephen Graham Jones, which was [[https://www.stitcher.com/show/levar-burton-reads/episode/i-was-a-teenage-space-jockey-by-stephen-graham-jones-208120475|on Levar Burton Reads]] in October 2022.
