Galaga '88/Ending messages

Arcade
There are a total of four ending messages in the arcade game. The ending you are shown depends on which dimension you are in when you complete the game.

Ending Message No. 1 (Dimension 2)
7 YEARS HAS PAST. THE REVIVED GALAGA FORCE ACQUIRED UNBELIEVABLE POWER AND STOOD BEFORE ONCE AGAIN.

FIGHTING WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, YOU HAVE FINALLY ENTERED INTO PLANET GALAGA ITSELF AND SUCCEEDED TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY'S BIG BOSS.

BUT HAS PLANET GALAGA REALLY BEEN DEMOLISHED? SOME DAY, THEY MIGHT COME BACK FROM THE DARK SPACE TO STRIKE US AGAIN. I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.

Ending Message No. 2 (Dimension 3)
WITH YOUR FIGHTING SPIRITS, THE REVIVED PLANET GALAGA HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED AND ONCE AGAIN PEACE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN THE UNIVERSE.

BUT "REALITY" IS NOT THAT SIMPLE.

LET ME SHOW YOU "THE WORD OF A GALAGA FORCE PRIVATE",

"IT'S ALL HIS FAULT. WE WERE ONLY ORDERED TO FIGHT BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR PLANET WAS IN GREAT DANGER... ...OH..." AN AGONY OF A PRIVATE.

Ending Message No. 3 (Dimension 4)
WITH YOUR FIGHTING SPIRITS, THE REVIVED PLANET GALAGA HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED AND ONCE AGAIN PEACE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN THE UNIVERSE.

LET ME SHOW YOU "A MESSAGE OF A GALAGA FORCE PRIVATE FROM HEAVEN",

"FINALLY IT'S OVER. IT WAS PAINFUL FOR ME, BUT I GUESS IT WAS THE SAME FOR YOU GUYS TOO."

"ONCE IN THE BATTLE FIELD, THE FOOD IS NO GOOD, NO GIRLS, NOTHING AT ALL. WHAT A PLACE!"

Ending Message No. 4 (Dimension 5)
FROM: A SAFELY RETURNED SPACE FIGHTER PILOT. TO: YOU WHO HAVE FOUGHT WITH ME ALL THE WAY.

"SO, YOUR MISSION IS OVER ALL RIGHT."

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?"

"HOW ABOUT COMING TO MY PLACE THIS NIGHT? FROM NOW ON, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU AS A MAN AND A WOMEN."

After the ending message has faded out, you will shown a graph which charts your progress through the game and has your number of shots, number of hits, and hit-miss ratio above it; the image of the exploded Final Boss will then appear in the centre of the screen, covering up a portion of the graph, before the game goes into high-score mode.

TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine
In the TG16/PCE version of the game, there is a different ending for each dimension and each of the two difficulties, for a total of eight different endings. The only visuals provided is a different medal for each dimension in Normal mode. No illustration is shown during the Difficult mode endings.
