Arcade Archives: Gaplus

Gaplus is a 1984 fixed shooter video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. It was released in North America by Bally Midway. It is the third game in the Galaxian series, serving as a direct sequel to Galaga (1981). In North America, a modification kit was later released to change the name to Galaga 3, possibly to reflect its position in the series. It was the only game other than Phozon to run on the Namco Phozon hardware. A contemporary home port for the Commodore 64 was released in 1988. A demake version of the game (in the style of Nintendo Entertainment System games) was included in Namco Museum Archives Vol. 2 as a bonus title. It was followed by Galaga '88 in 1987.
