(any idea) 1) Can another version of a game play better than an arcade version? 2) You can master Galaga.... or, you can cheat and make them stop shooting all together [I liked Galaxian]. 3) I have not seen any of the versions except for the arcade game.

This went through another news groupa while back... you leave one or two of the second type of alien [red?] on the LEFT of your screen. You move your ship over to the right of the screen. Wait for about 7 minutes and watch the aliens. If they BOTH do not fire in a single pass... kill them both. No other alien will ever fire on any other wave. You can also do this with one red guy, you just have to wait almost twice as long. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott D.

Assuming that you mean "Galaga", not "Galaxian", I have done this but with blue aliens, not red ones. (Maybe it works with red ones too, who knows?) You can't just wait at the edge; sometimes it'll shoot a wraparound bullet that can get you unless you dodge it. -- "Workers of the world, we're sorry!" --Soviet protestor's slogan Kenneth Arromdee (UUCP: ....!jhunix!arromdee; BITNET: arromdee@jhuvm; INTERNET: arromdee@crabcake.cs.jhu.edu)
