About
Galaga GS is Chris Vavruska's Apple IIGS adaptation of Galaga, posted in September 2026. It is not a direct arcade port. There is no tractor-beam boss and no Challenge stages. You can pick up power-ups such as triple shot. The code comes from Joe Rumsey's Xgalaga, trimmed for speed, and runs on a modified Generic Tile Engine by Lucas Scharenbroich that allows more sprites than the original GTE.
It needs System 6 and an accelerator. Keyboard is the default. Arrows move, Space fires, M switches to the mouse, K returns to the keyboard.
