Stephen's Rating: 5/10
Galactix was my first shoot-em-up scrolling shooter.
Basic Plot
I can't actually remember much about it... There was an enemy, a guy who looked like he had brains for a face and tubes sticking out of him. His fleet was on its way to destroy your planet, so you get in a ship to go stop him.
Gameplay.
Gameplay
The game was a classic shoot-em-up scroller. One mechanic which might be unique for this game was a "claw" which you had to use to grab power-ups. Using the claw was an art in itself. Power-ups would provide you with better weapons.
Taking on a boss. You can see the upgraded weapons.
Positives
At the time it felt really polished and looked good too. Definitely a solid shoot-em-up.
Negatives
The game was way too hard for my 8-9 year old brain to fathom.
Memorable Moments
Just the claw reaching out to grab a power-up before it glided off screen...
