This game gets a lot of hype in the Amiga and Atari ST community but it's labeled as crap everywhere else. In my opinion the game looks great and could have been fun if it didn't suffer from awful hit detection which just ruins it for me. Most of the time your bullets pass right though the enemies which leads to a lot of bullshit deaths and makes you question why you're still playing. Is all the hype just nostalgia? I wonder what you guys think of this game.

I always thought it played slow and while everybody raved about the soundtrack and graphics, it was style over substance. I preferred Hybris and Swiv back in the day. Deluxe Galaga was probably the pinacle of that genre on the Amiga.

I totally agree. There's much better games out there
