ColecoFan1981 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) While I do know Sega did a somewhat average port of Galaga for its SG1000 console (under the name Sega-Galaga), as well as the MSX version and CollectorVision's homebrew, I cannot help but wonder how the programmers at AtariSoft might have been able to do the game justice for the ColecoVision. Furthermore, wouldn't AtariSoft's programming team have learned from the Sega and MSX versions? The omission of the Challenge Stages is the only reason I dislike the SG1000 port. I'd bet that as a 32 KB cart, at least some if not all the Challenge Stages could be added (since Sega's port only had an 8 KB ROM size). ~Ben Edited September 9, 2015 by ColecoFan1981 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 That would have been great if Atarisoft would have made a port. The SG-1000 one does leave a bit to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Isn't Eduardo planning a ColecoVision Galaga SGM from scratch (not a port)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega_SHARK Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The omission of the Challenge Stages is the only reason I dislike the SG1000 port. Then play the MSX version? The only glaring omission in the MSX version is lack of multi-colored enemies. I think the only advantage of the SG1000 version is the two player mode. The MSX version plays faster and looks super smooth compared to the SG1000 version. Furthermore, wouldn't AtariSoft's programming team have learned from the Sega and MSX versions? I'm firing up the DeLorean so I can convince Matt Householder to drop that Moon Patrol project and get on board with Galaga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin_power Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Before firing up your BTTF DeLorean, set up a reminder to throw in a spare tank of gas. Just incase you run out...and can't be pushed by a train. Or.. I will patiently wait for Opcode's authentic version of Galaga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Or.. I will patiently wait for Opcode's authentic version of Galaga. It might be a while for that one, so you'd be better seved just buying the Galaga arcade game or playing thru MAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
