With Dual Fighter Power-Ups and
New Features, Galaga Remix Now Available for iPhone

Namco brings arcade favorite with
a twist to the App Store

Namco Networks today announced the
worldwide availability of Galaga Remix for iPhone and iPod touch devices. The
game is available for $5.99 through Apple’s App Store.

Players control a fighter ship and
shoot missiles to destroy incoming enemy aliens in this classic stage-based
shooter. Galaga Remix offers both the original 1980’s arcade game, Galaga, and
an enhanced Remix version, which features boss battles, power-ups and background
images that illustrate the journey from Earth to the Galaga system.

“Galaga Remix offers the classic
game play from the original while giving players an option to enjoy more iPhone-specific
features and game play,” said Scott Rubin, senior vice president of sales and
marketing for Namco Networks. “Galaga Remix is another example of Namco updating
a fan favorite to utilize the capabilities of Apple’s devices, while delivering
the experience fans expect .”

Galaga Remix offers three control
modes—arrow keys (move your fighter by pressing the arrow keys), slider (slide
the bar at the bottom of the screen to move the fighter) and accelerometer (tilt
the phone from side to side to move the ship).

Players looking to expand on the
original arcade version of Galaga will enjoy the Remix mode with features that
include:

• Six unique boss battles.

• Enhanced fighter unification
  system with nine power-up types.

• All new, Free Play mode lets
  players choose from previously-cleared stages.

The Remix mode also includes an
update to the fan-favorite “dual-fighter” mode in which players purposely get
captured by the enemy’s tractor beam and then rescue the captured fighter for a
power up.
