Tips and secrets, cheats and codes
2 tips: 2 Easter Eggs and GlitchesEaster Eggs and Glitches:
How can you make the Galagas stop firing in the arcade version of Galaga?
Just like in the arcade version of Galaga, you can make the enemies stop firing missiles. In round 1, eliminate everything except the two leftmost flies on the bottom row of Namco Museum. Let them fly around for about 15-20 minutes until they stop firing their missiles. Destroy them, and for the rest of the game, none of the enemies will shoot at you.
Easter Eggs and Glitches:
How do you make every enemy disappear in Namco Museum?
This glitch causes all enemies in the current level to disappear, but the level will not end. This way, you can get as many points as you want by eating all the dirt!
1) Take the game back to two Pookas in Namco Museum. If you leave only one, it will escape and end the round.
2) This works best in horizontal tunnels under the rocks.
3) Make sure a Pooka is following you, blow it up if necessary to slow it down a bit.
4) When you are next to the rock, blow up the Pooka once to slow it down. When it moves back towards your character, go under the rock.
5) Quickly turn around and start pumping up the Pooka. By using the delay of the falling rock, you should be able to make the Pooka burst while the rock falls on it.
6) If you succeed, the other Pooka will disappear, and you can have fun digging tunnels in the mud all day long.
NOTE: To return the game to normal, let another rock fall and proceed to the next round.
