Anyone have a Galaga/Galaxian Row?

[Tighe]

This is something am aiming for:

with a "Namco Classic Collection Volume 1" on the end. Did that have a dedicated cabinet?


I don't have room for a Galaxian 3. So far I have Galaga, Gaplus, and a Galaga '88 on the way.

I have the Galaga and Galaxian, Galaxian is not complete yet. They will look good when they are all side by side.

I've got a Galaga and a Galaxian. I don't play Gaplus/Galaga 3 much, so I just use my 60 in 1 when I want to play it. Every time a Gaplus pops up for sale locally, the price is pretty high. For that price there are other games I would rather have. Even so, it would be sweet to have all three side by side...

I know my Galaga and Gaplus look great together.

Gaplus really is a handsome cabinet, if you can find a good one it is worth it. I got mine for cheap.

I'll have Galaga and Gaplus together once I finish my Galaga. I'm going to put Gaplus on the inside of the row.

Just personal preference, but I don't think I'd want that many cabs which are all a variation of the same game - Galaxian. It's sort of like having Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Space Duel and Blasteroids all together, or pac man, Ms. Pac, Super Pac, Pac jr and others in a row.

FWIW, I still think Galaga was the best of those games. Yes I know there have been a ton of threads on Galaga vs. Galaxians...

 

[RetroHacker]

I have a Galaga that's a converted Galaxian. So, that's kind of a row in and of itself, right?

No?

I thought about that, but the Gaplus is in nicer shape than my Galaga.

The variation is huge in different to me. Galaxian is so different in Galaga, much more like Space Invaders, Gaplus is turns Galaga on its head giving you a tractor beam, more powerful ship, and 8-way control. Galaga '88 takes away the 8-way, adds warps, awesome waves, and Galaga Arrangement gives you 2 player simultaneous play.

I would love a Pac row!

You need a Galaxian 3 theatre

I could put all the others inside it!

If you don't think Galaxian 3 is huge...

I recently got a restored Galaxian u/r but I have Galaga cocktail..

 

[saleem]

space constraints dictate what i can and cant have.so i would realisticaly never have a row with galaxian or galaga they are too expensive,rare and i live in a 1 bedroom flat.

i will be very hard pushed in uk to find a galaga,never mind find one that is available to buy,then it would cost me a bomb for sure.

Thank goodness I live in the USA! Galagas are common here.

WOW there are people who own a Galaxian Theater:

[animesuperj]

I've got my Galaxian and Galaga next to each other, and a dedicated Gaplus is the highest on my want list right now. After that, I might consider doing an '88; but at least want to get the Gaplus sometime this summer.

Check this thread, this dude bought a Galaxian 3, look at what a bitch it is to disassemble!

That is amazing. And we thought arcade cabs took up a lot of room!

 

[Black Matrix]

I currently have Galaga next to pac man that was converted to galaga running Gaplus as a conversion in the same row as a Space invaders......Is that close enough.

My Galaga & Galaxian are at the ends of a row including Gyruss and Joust. I have a Galaga 88 board and would love a dedicated Gaplus, but something would have to go first as I am out of room now.
