During the run I was able to Achieve the Tournament world record of 9,546,530. What were the final scores of your Galaga records and how long did it take? I talked with Jordan a little about his historic achievement and other gaming topics: Tournament Setting rules: 5 Lives – Extra Ships: None – Difficulty Rank: D Marathon Rules: 3 Lives – Extra Ships at 20,000 then 70,000 then every 70,000 after – Difficulty Rank: D Jordan also beat that record with a score of 20,980,450. Most of the highest scores were put up in the 1980’s, until Armando Gonzalez achieved the highest marathon score of 17,684,050 in 2018. The marathon high score of Galaga has been held by a small few. This was a big score and hard to beat, but on January 26th of 2020, Jordan broke the record with a score of 9,546,530. In April of 2019, Armando Gonzalez achieved the high score of 9,525,700. In 2019 there was a battle between a few gamers to try and set the high score. 3 people have achieved over 9 million points.

The most points in Tournament Settings have been submitted by multiple gamers, but only 19 people have reached the 1-million-point score. Jordan Dorrington has broken two world records in 2020. Some play a marathon of the game for 10 to 15 hours. Many have played and achieved high scores.

The graphics, the sounds, the gameplay, all work to perfection and make the game a true classic. Galaga is one of the most popular old school games ever. There are a huge number of gamers out there who think Galaga. Some think of Pac-Man, Defender, and Donkey Kong. The freed fighter will then combine with the player's fighter who freed them, offering doubled firepower but with the disadvantage of a target twice as large.There are only a few arcade games that are considered part of the golden age of video games. Captive fighters can be freed by destroying the boss Galaga, towing it while it is attacking. The player can still fire while being captured up to the point their ship "touches" the captor, which could be considered an opportunity to shoot the captor down before it can manage to successfully capture the player. The captive fighter becomes an enemy, turns red, and likewise, it can be shot and destroyed. If successful, the fighter joins the enemy formation as a satellite to the boss Galaga, which captured it. While the player is in control of just one fighter, a "boss" Galaga, (which takes two hits to kill, the first hit will turn it purple) will periodically attempt to capture the fighter using a tractor beam. Another feature in the game is for enemies to randomly transform and organize into a certain formation, which awards the player bonus points if they manage to successfully destroy itĪnother gameplay feature new is the ability for enemies to capture the player's fighter. When you destroy a group of enemies, you are awarded 1500 points.These stages award a 10K-point bonus if the player manages to destroy every enemy, but otherwise 100 bonus points for every enemy destroyed.

Statistic at the end of the game, and a bonus "Challenging Stage" that occurs every few stages, in which a series of enemies fly onto and off the screen in set patterns without firing at the player's ship or trying to crash into it. The game ends when the player's last fighter is lost by colliding with an enemy, In later stages, some enemies even break from an entering group in a frantic attempt to crash into the player. Enemies swarm in groups in a formation near the top of the screen, and then begin flying down toward the player, firing bullets at and attempting to crash into them. The player controls a starfighter that can move left and right along the bottom of the playfield. Galaga, is to score as many points as possible by destroying insect-like enemies.
