Play Deluxe Galaga Online

Deluxe Galaga came out for the Amiga in 1994, developed by the small team at Vision. It was a time when the Amiga still had a dedicated following, and shooters like this kept the platform feeling alive. The game built on the familiar Galaga formula but added enough depth to stand on its own.

You pilot a small ship at the bottom of the screen, moving left and right to avoid enemy fire while shooting back. Your main goal is to clear each wave of insect-like alien ships, some of which are armored and require sustained fire to destroy. Between levels, you can spend points in a shop to upgrade your ship's weapons, shields, or bombs, which adds a strategic layer to the usual arcade action. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty ramps up steadily, especially when facing the screen-filling bosses. It feels responsive and satisfying, especially when you chain together kills and manage to survive a particularly dense barrage.
