Way, way back, when the universe was young and video games had just appeared on the scene, a game called Space Invaders blasted into every arcade, bar and pizza parlor in the country, sucking millions of coins from the pockets of the American populous. Money talks a language all game developers understand, and it wasn't long before the next generation of Space Invaders-type games made its appearance. Galaga was among them.
Galaga took Space Invaders' basic idea and transformed it from a relatively static shooting gallery into an inventive, visually appealing fast-action blastathon, the likes of which had never been seen before at that time. Now the aliens could really fight back; they didn't have to stay in their neat little rows, but instead they could swoop down upon the player's gun in dizzying spirals and loops, firing all the way.
Now it's 1990 - gad, where did the '80s go? - and Galaga has been updated to meet the high standards of today's competitive video-game market, the result being an addictive and inventive space-battle contest that's guaranteed to please any shoot-'em-up fan. Galaga 90 is most definitely a worthy addition to your video-game library.
Let's talk about graphics. With Galaga '90 you won't play for the highest score; rather, you'll try to last long enough to see as many of the stunning animations as possible. The attacking creatures flow onto the screen in circular and zigzag patterns, before regrouping into lines across the top. When hit, some creatures explode with an effect not unlike a Fourth of July fireworks display. Colorful, indeed.
Once all a wave's creatures are on the screen, the creatures break from their ranks and swoop down upon you, sometimes transforming into different shapes. You need to be quick on the controller to stay clear of both them and their fire. However, when you first play, you'll be so busy watching the aliens' antics, you'll forget to man your guns.
Sometimes a creature or obstacle on the screen will, when hit, leave behind a blue capsule for you to scoop up. These capsules allow you to warp to different 'dimensions', where you can earn bonus points and fight a different class of enemy.
Your fighter, just like the creatures against which you must battle, is capable of taking on different forms. A single fighter may be used or the fighters may be combined into double-and triple-shot crafts. With these high-powered fighters, you can spray the screen with destruction as you try to rid the world of the Galaga corps. Of course, the double and triple ships are wider than the single version and so make better targets for the opponent.
Now let's talk about music. Games for the TurboGrafx-16 seem to feature unusually good music, and Galaga '90 doesn't break that tradition. In fact, one jazz piece, played during an intermediate screen, is good enough to tape for later playback in your car. Good stuff! The only problem with the music is that there isn't enough of it.

Galaga '90 is an excellent shoot-'em-up. However, you should keep in mind that this type of game isn't for everyone. Very little strategy or thought is involved. Mostly, you pound the fire button until your fingers bleed.
