I'm just wondering if there ever really was a Galaga '84? I've never seen it have you?

I've wondered this same thing. I've never seen it here and don't remember seeing it when I was younger either.
Its supposed to be very rare but i never heard anyone talking about it usually the rare games are always talked about
 
Wait.. So Galaga 88 and Galaga 84 are not one and the same?
 
I wonder if maybe the OP is thinking of Gaplus/Galaga 3. That came out in 1984.
 
They changed the bugs to look more like... bugs... and the ship is different, but if you look in the bottom corner the lives graphic is still the same :D

It's just a bootleg someone made where they changed the graphics and copyright date. It's not all that exciting.

I have a Nebulous Bee board, which is a hack that I think was from 84. Is that pretty much the same thing as the Galaga 84?

I don't think so... Galaga 84 is a graphics heavy hack, gameplay is the same (like Nebulous Bee) but the graphics are quite different.

That's a Galaga 84 screenshot...

And that's one from Nebulous Bee.

If your Nebulous Bee has Galaga 84 esque graphics, though, it would prove they were done by the same bootlegger... which would be pretty cool.
