GAMEPLAY
FIRST TIME PLAYING
Once you've loaded GALAGA Destination Earth, you will find yourself at the title screen. Press the button and you will come to the Main Menu.
Select "New Game." A mission briefing screen will appear and give you information about playing the level. Press the button to advance to an introduction movie. You will then find yourself in the first stage, 'Shipwreck.'
THE MISSION
When you first begin the game, only the first mission, "Shipwreck," is available to you. Once you complete the first mission, you'll have to chase the Galaga aliens from deep space to Saturn and on to Earth's upper atmosphere.
Each mission will begin with a Mission Briefing, which will explain the mission objective(s). In the course of completing a mission, you'll have to defeat successive waves of Galaga attackers, each more difficult than the last.
During some missions, a Challenge Mode will occasionally allow you to sit back and blast streams of alien ships for bonus points. If you need a break, simply hit the start button to Pause the game. From the Pause Menu you can review the briefing.
REMEMBER!
You cannot save a game in GALAGA Destination Earth. During a game you will have only three chances to continue playing after all your ships within a mission have been destroyed. Once you have used all your chances, you will return to the Main Menu where you will start a new game from the first level.
COMPLETING A MISSION
When you finish a mission, a Statistics Screen will display information about your performance on the mission and upgrades you have received. Press the button to advance to the next mission.
THE PLAYER'S SHIP
Initially, your ship has a single weapon, with a limited rate of fire, and limited maneuverability. You will also start each mission with just one Smartbomb that will destroy all the alien ships on screen.
As the game progresses, several upgrades are permanently added to your ship, ranging from increased shield capacity to special maneuvers. These ship upgrades are added based on your ship merit points, described below.
