How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About ARCADE GAME SERIES: GALAGA
The 1981 shoot 'em up: you move your ship from side to side and fire at waves of aliens. A boss can capture your fighter with a beam; rescue it and you fly two at once, with double the firepower and twice the size.
