August: Galaga

Three lives, factory default difficulty, no rapid fire. The stage-two fire-hold exploit is allowed because it shipped in the ROM. Autofire hardware is not.

Galaga

How it works

Four steps, one moderator

Step 1

Pick your division

Original hardware, cabinet, emulator or handheld. Be honest — the community will spot it.

Step 2

Play the game

Factory settings. As many attempts as you like; only your best score counts.

Step 3

Submit proof

A photo of the game-over screen. Video is required for any top-three placement.

Step 4

Get verified

A moderator confirms within 48 hours, and the leaderboard updates.
