Galaga '88/Ending messages

There are a total of four ending messages in the game, and the one you will be treated to after your ship has flown away off the top of the screen depends on which dimension you were in for the last three stages of the game; the image of the exploded Final Boss which covers up the third, fourth and fifth sections of the gameover progress graph is also dependent upon this.

Ending Message No. 1 (Dimension 2)
6 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 be treated to a graph which has charted 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 (and cover up the third, fourth and fifth sections of the graph) before the game goes into high-score mode. Your score will most likely be the highest on the cabinet to date, so you should enter your initials at the top of the table (which displays the dimension you were in as well as the stage you reached), with pride, especially if you were lucky enough to make it through fifth dimension - and once you have done so, the game will go back into attract mode.
