Oooh, old-school games... I don't think we have Gala Omega here, but there's an entire genre of space shooters like that! They're an incredible part of gaming history... The idea of dynamic difficulty in video games originated entirely from that genre, with with old systems lagging and then decreasing lag as you progressed due to fewer enemies... Gaming as it exists in the modern era owes so much to the space shooter genre!

I understand that love of arcades, too... Sometimes I like to try to disguise myself and go just enjoy the time there. A lot of them have small shrines to me there, too, which helps!

There aren't a lot of two-player games in that genre, though....
