Arcade Classic No. 3 - Galaga & Galaxian

Screenshots1 / 3

A light green background displays two diagonal formations of small dark green pixel-art spaceship sprites arranged in V-shaped patterns across the upper portion of the screen. The left formation contains five ships moving diagonally upward, while the right formation contains six ships. The center and lower portions of the screen remain empty, showing only the plain background. This appears to be a gameplay screen from a space shooter game with minimal HUD elements visible.

Arcade Classic No. 3 brings two classic vertical shooters to the Game Boy. Released in 1995 by TOSE, this cartridge contains Galaxian and Galaga. Players control a spaceship at the screen's bottom, moving left and right while firing upward at descending enemy formations. Galaxian emphasizes diagonal dives from enemy squadrons, while Galaga introduces a capture mechanic where enemies can abduct the player's ship. Both games progress through numbered stages with increasing difficulty and enemy variety. Controls are straightforward: the directional pad moves the ship and a button fires weapons. Players must dodge incoming projectiles while targeting approaching formations. The port adapts these arcade experiences to the Game Boy's monochrome display, maintaining the core shooting loop across multiple stages with escalating challenge.
