- Just had to add that the TG16 has a version of Galaga called Galaga '91.
- (or is that '90?) it is a good "spiffed up" version of the orginal.
- They added a few new things, like 2 vertical scrolling areas with "bosses"
- (very wimpy) at the end and you are able to go to different levels of
- the game. But even with the added stuff it still feels like Galaga of old.
- Most levels have the stationary screen and the bugs fly into formation
- and has the bonous screens and the music is great!!! (I sometimes play
- the game to hear the bonus level music!)
