Frequent failures of Galaga
Theoretically, a game of Galaga can last indefinately - an infinite number of waves.
Not all games prone to rollover cause any sort of problem.
Nor do all 8-bit games have an "upper ceiling" of values or multiples of 256 (multiple digit score displays are proof of this).
Galaga was released by Namco's North American distributor, Midway, in December of 1981, though it didn't reach most arcades in the U.
S.
until early 1982.
Sequels would follow, but Galaga always stood tall.
It's definitely one of the greatest games of all time, and now it's available for 400 points ($5) on Xbox Live Arcade.
