Galaga ’88 must live up to the braggadocious implications of its title, to its suggestion that the mega pop hit Galaga has been reincarnated in a superior body. Look at how the sports video game market persists. As consumers, we go to a car dealership with the expectation that we will see the latest year’s offerings on the lot. The citation of the year is a way of telling us that the game is for people of a modern age with more sophisticated demands. The reference to 1988 is not just technical acknowledgement of the approximate time of the release. Galaga ’88 wants to be a superior version of the 1981 masterpiece. With all of these changes, director Shigeru Yokoyama produced one of the most beloved games of any era and made Galaxian a forgettable footnote in the history of shooters. Most importantly, players can double their firepower by allowing a ship to be taken hostage and then freeing it. The aesthetic of the main ship evokes the offensively minded X-Wing from Star Wars rather than the more passive Enterprise spacecraft from Star Trek. Bonus stages emphasize accuracy and provide a suitable break from the game’s kill-or-be-killed paradigm.

Enemies zip onto the screen in graceful sychronization as opposed to automatically being in rows. Though a fixed vertical shooter like its predecessor Galaxian, Galaga is a more exhilarating, dynamic affair.

The reason why Waltz replaced the Tropical Beach theme in every port and remake of the game is because the enemy movement in the Tropical stage is extremely similar and yet uncannily, to the Waltz stage's enemy movements.Note: This is the second essay of a seven-part series on game remakes. The 1st bonus stage uses the Waltz theme, the 2nd bonus stage using the Celebration theme, the 3rd bonus stage using the Ragtime theme, the 4th bonus stage uses the Samba theme, the 5th bonus stage was intended to use the Tropical theme, and the 6th and final stage uses the March theme. Unlike Gaplus and the original Galaga, each of the bonus stages now have their own unique music themes. The player can also have their Dual Gyaraku captured and recovered for a new, more powerful, Triple Ship.(Which not only has three guns but, three upgraded guns.) After the player receives the ending after the last stage they either enter their name on the leaderboard or play through the stages again until they die.(Depending on the version.) Dimensional travel is activated when a player captures two Icems and plays through a challenging stage.Then the challenging stages are renamed "That's Galactic Dancin'" and have classical music playing as a joke. The player also has dimensional travel which let's the player see the level in a different way, face a different boss and see a different ending. There are bosses now, which aren't elaborate, but make for some frenzied shooting. Every level has a background to fit the location, similar to other storyline-esque shoot 'em ups. The gameplay is just like that of Galaga, only enhanced. (If you count your ship exploding as one.)
There are four different canonical endings, as well as a non-canonical one. Depending on which Dimension the player defeated the final boss in, they view a different ending. This is the first game of the series to have different endings in the story. And they did, they attacked a UGSF outpost, all fighters from the Lunar Command Center were launched & ordered to attack any Galaxian fighters upon sight. The UGSF prepared fighters & pilots for war, but kept all at base to wait for the Legions to make their move. The Galaga Legions have returned as expected, and are using more strategic methods this time, they've taken every planet in their galaxy & are using them as bases, on top of that, they're using special tech called Icems to enhance their fighters & warp to locations at quick speeds.
