![]() ![]() Someone would have had to kill everything but the left two enemies, and then dodged fire for 10-15 minutes. Others then discovered the cheat when they watched him play the game at an arcade.Ĭonsidering that this cheat is very obscure, it is unlikely something that was discovered by chance. It is rumoured on the Internet that a Namco programmer added the design flaw (or discovered the design flaw and kept it secret) to ensure that he could always get the high score when he visited an arcade. But, was this intentional or not?

Since Galaga was one of the most popular games of the 1980s, people definitely wanted to get the high scores on it -) What this means is that you can get some pretty sweet high scores on Galaga arcade machines if you are patient. At this point, you can safely kill them and no enemies will fire at you for the remainder of the game (they can still crash into you to kill you though).
