Galaga '88/Stages 8-10

The next three stages of the game will take place either in the first, second or third dimension, will always be scrolling forward until the stage's formations immediately appears in front of you, and feature Crystals, Asteroids and Ameobas as obstacles; however, none of them will leave a blue Warp Capsule behind when you destroy them due to an auto-scrolling nature.

Dimension 1
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, a group of three Goei will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while firing hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, another group of two more Goei will come flying towards you on the right side of the screen while firing another hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired shot at both of them to kill them, a third group of three more Goei will come flying towards you on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to five Asteroids on the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind; you will then come to four Crystals on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired single shot at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind - and a fourth group of three more Goei will then come flying towards you on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to three more Asteroids on the right side of the screen; once you have fired total eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will, once again, not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. Two enormous Goei will then come flying towards you on the right and left sides of the screen; once you have fired three shots at both of them to kill them (for a sixth time, their eyes and tails will change colour from red to blue to green as you do so), they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (much like all eight of the Asteroids and all four of the Crystals you encountered earlier in the stage). The screen will then stop scrolling forward and the surface of the planet will vibrate beneath you as a formation comprised of eight Zako, sixteen Don (four Green, four Pink, four Brown and four Purple), eight Goei and four Boss Galagans immediately appears above your ship; the four numbers add up to a total of forty Galagans.

Two of the eight Goei in the formation will then meld with each other to create a giant version of themselves while the other six start to attack your ship; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a seventh time, its eyes and tail will change colour from red to blue to green as you do so), it will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (it is much like the other two that you encountered earlier in the stage did not). None of the four Boss Galagans in the formation will fly down and engage their tractor beams either because your triple ship is too big for them to capture and take back up to the top of the screen - but if you fire a shot at any of the sixteen Don while they are attacking you, they will explode into four miniaturized versions of themselves. Once you have fired a shot at all four of them to kill them, you will receive an 800- (Green), 1200- (Pink), 1600- (Brown), or 2000-point (Purple) bonus; once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the "5-Medal" and four "1-Medals" will appear in the bottom-right and the screen will resume scrolling forward.

Dimension 2
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, four Zako will come flying towards you on the left side of the screen while firing a hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, another group of four Goei will come flying towards you on the right side of the screen while firing a second hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to five Asteroids on the right side of the screen - and once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. A third group of three more Zako will then come flying towards you on the left side of the screen while firing a third hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, a Nin will come flying down towards you from the top of the screen. Once you have fired three shots at this Nin to kill it, a formation of nineteen miniaturized Don (seventeen Green and two Brown) will come flying down towards you on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired one shot at each of them to kill them, you will receive a 3400-point bonus. You will then come to three Crystals on the left side of the screen; and once you have fired a shot at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. Four Pan (one Pink, one Green, one Yellow, and one Red) will then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired four shots at each of them to kill them (they will inflate and explode as you do so), the screen will stop scrolling forward and the surface of the planet will vibrate beneath you as a formation which is comprised of twelve Zako, eight Nin, sixteen Goei, and four Boss Galagans immediately appears above your ship - the numbers add up to a total of forty Galagans, and they will begin to attack your (for a fourth time) much bigger target of a triple ship as soon as the surface of the blue planet has stopped vibrating.

Two of the sixteen Goei in the formation will then meld with each other in order to create a giant version of themselves while the others are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for a fourth time here, its eyes will change colour from blue to green to yellow as you do so), it will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (much like the five Asteroids and the three Crystals that you encountered earlier in the stage did not do so). None of the four Boss Galagans in the formation will be able to fly down and engage their tractor beams either because your triple ship is too big for them to capture and take back up to the top of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the "5-Medal" and four "1-Medals" will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen (to indicate progression to th ninth stage) and the screen will resume scrolling forward.

Dimension 3
Once your triple ship has rematerialized at the bottom of the screen, a group of four Zako will come flying towards you on the right side of the screen while firing a hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, a second group of three more Zako will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen while firing a second hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to six Asteroids on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired a total of eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. A third group of three Goei will then come flying towards you from the right side of the screen while firing a third hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to six Crystals on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired one shot at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind - and formation of nineteen miniaturized Don (ten Pink, two Brown and seven Purple) will then come flying down towards you on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will receive a 3800-point bonus; two enormous Goei will then come flying towards you on the right and left sides of the screen. Once you have fired a total three shots at both of them to kill them (in this dimension, their entire bodies will change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (much like the six Asteroids and the six Crystals you encountered earlier in the stage did not) - and three Red Pan will then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired a total of four shots at each of them to kill them (they will inflate and explode as you do so), the screen will stop scrolling forward and the surface of the planet will vibrate beneath you as a formation it is comprised of fourteen Zako, fourteen Goei, six Pan (three Yellow and three Red), and four Boss Galagans, immediately appears above your ship; the numbers add up to a total of forty Galagans, and they will begin to attack.

Two of the fourteen Goei in the formation will then meld with each other in order to create a giant version of themselves while the others are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (once again, its entire body will be change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), it will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (much like the five Asteroids and the six Crystals that you encountered earlier in the stage did not). None of the four Boss Galagans in the formation will be able to fly down and engage their tractor beams either because your triple ship is too big for them to capture and take back up to the top of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the "5-Medal" and four "1-Medals" will appear in the bottom-right corner (to indicate your progression to the ninth stage of the game) and the screen will resume scrolling forward.

Dimension 1
Once the screen has started scrolling forward again, a group of four Don (one Pink, one Brown, one Purple and one Green), will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen while firing a hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to five Asteroids on the left side of the screen. Once you have fired total eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind - and you will then come to five more Asteroids on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind; another group of three more Pink Don will then come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while firing another hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to five more Asteroids on the right side of the screen - and once you have fired a eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. You will then come to four Crystals on the left side of the screen; once you have fired one shot at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. A formation of twenty miniaturized Don (two Brown, six Pink, six Green, and six Purple) will then come flying down towards you on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will receive a 3000-point bonus. Four Pan (two Pink and two Yellow) will then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a third hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired four shots at each of them to kill them (once again, they will inflate and explode as you do so), the screen will stop scrolling forward for a second time and the surface of the blue planet beneath you will vibrate for second time as a formation comprised of ten Zako, sixteen Don (four Purple, four Brown, four Pink and four Green), ten Goei, and four Boss Galagans immediately appears above your ship. As with the previous stage, the numbers add up to a total of forty Galagans, and they will begin to attack your ship once the surface of the planet beneath you has stopped vibrating.

Two of the ten Goei in the formation will then meld with each other to create a giant version of themselves while the other eight are attacking you; once you have fired a three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (for an eighth time, its eyes and tail will change colour from red to blue to green as you do so), it will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (much like the fifteen Asteroids and the four Crystals that you encountered earlier in the stage did not). None of the four Boss Galagans will fly down and engage their tractor beams either because your triple ship is too big for them to capture and take back up to the top of the screen - but if you fire a shot at any of the sixteen extra Don while they are attacking you ship, they will explode into four miniaturized versions of themselves. Once you have fired a shot at all four of them to kill them, you will receive an 800- (Green), 1200- (Pink, 1600- (Brown), or 2000-point (Purple) bonus; once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the "10-Medal" will appear in the bottom-right and the screen will resume scrolling forward once again.

Dimension 2
Once the screen has started scrolling forward again, a group of three Zako will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while firing a hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired one shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to five Asteroids on the left side of the screen. Once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind - and you will then come to four more Asteroids on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind; a Nin will then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a second hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired a three shots at this Nin to kill it, you will come to five more Asteroids on the right side of the screen - and once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. A Goei will then come flying towards you on the right side of the screen while firing a third hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at it to kill it, you will come to two more Asteroids on the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a eight shots at both of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind - and two more Nin will then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Nin to kill them, two enormous Goei will come flying towards you on the right and left sides of the screen; once you have fired a three shots at both of them to kill them (for a fifth time, their eyes will change colour from blue to green to yellow as you do so), they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (much like those sixteen Asteroids you encountered earlier in the stage did not). The screen will then stop scrolling forward for a second time and the surface of the planet beneath you will vibrate for a second time as a formation comprised of sixteen Zako, eight Nin, twelve Goei, and four Boss Galagans immediately appears above your ship - as with the previous stage, the numbers add up to a total of forty Galagans, and they will all begin to attack.

Two of the twelve Goei in the formation will then meld with each other in order to create a giant version of themselves while the others are attacking you; once you have fired three shots the enormous Goei to kill it (for a fifth time, its eyes will change colour from dblue to green to yellow as you do so), it will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (much like those sixteen Asteroids that you encountered earlier in the stage did not). None of the four Boss Galagans in the formation will be able to fly down and engage their tractor beams either because your triple ship is too big for them to capture and take back up to the top of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at any remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the "10-Medal" will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen (to indicate your progression to the tenth stage) and the screen will resume scrolling forward once again. Be prepared for boss fight.

Dimension 3
Once the screen has started scrolling forward again, four Pan (one Yellow, one Pink, one Red and one Green) will come flying towards you on the right side of the screen while firing a hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired four shots at each of them to kill them (yet again, they will inflate and explode as you do so), a second group of four Zako will come flying towards you on the left side of the screen while firing another hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to an Amoeba on the right side of the screen - and once you have fired sixteen shots at it to destroy it, it will not leave blue Warp Capsule behind. A third group of two Goei will then come flying towards you on the left side of the screen while firing a third hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, a fourth group of three more Red Pan will come flying towards you from the top of the screen while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired four shots at each of them to kill them (yet again, they will inflate and explode as you do so), you will come to three Asteroids on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, a fifth group of three more Green Pan will come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired four shots at each of them to kill them (yet again, they will inflate and explode as you do so), you will come to three more Asteroids on the right side of the screen. Once you have fired total of eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind; sixth group of four Don (one Green, one Purple, one Pink and one Brown) will then come flying towards you on the right side of the screen while firing a sixth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, the screen will stop scrolling forward and the surface of the planet beneath you will vibrate for second time as a formation comprised of fourteen Zako, fourteen Goei, six Pan (three Pink and three Green), and four Boss Galagans immediately appears in front of your ship - and as with the previous stage, the numbers add up to a total of forty Galagans, and they will begin to attack your ship once the surface of the planet beneath you has stopped vibrating for a second time.

Two of the fourteen Goei in the formation will then meld with each other in order to create a giant version of themselves while the other twelve are attacking you; once you have fired three shots at the enormous Goei to kill it (yet again, its entire body will change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), it will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind (this is much like how the six Asteroids and the single Amoeba that you encountered earlier in the stage did not). None of the four Boss Galagans in the formation will be able to fly down and engage their tractor beams either because your triple ship is too big for them to capture and take back up to the top of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at any of the remaining Galagans in the formation to kill them, the "10-Medal" will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen (to indicate progression to tenth stage) and the screen will start scrolling forward once again.

Dimension 1
Once the screen has started scrolling forward once again, a group of two Zako will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while firing a hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, another group of two Goei will come flying towards you on the left side of the screen while firing another hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, you will come to five Asteroids are on the right side of the screen - and once you have fired a eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. A third group of four more Zako will then come flying towards you on the right side of the screen while firing a third hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, a fourth group of three Don (one Pink, one Brown, and one Purple) will come flying towards you on the left side of the screen while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired one shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Asteroids are on the left side of the screen - and once you have fired eight shots at both of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. You will then come to four more Asteroids are in the centre of the screen; once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, a fifth group of four Pan (one Yellow, one Pink, one Red, and one Green) will come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a fifth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired four shots at each of them to kill them (for a third time, they will inflate and explode as you do so), the screen will stop scrolling forward and the surface of that planet beneath you will vibrate for a third and final time as the Mini-Boss (who looks somewhat like an enormous Purple Galaxian from the original Galaxian arcade game) immediately appears above your ship and begins to fire a fifth hail of bullets down at it as soon as the surface of the planet beneath you stops vibrating.

Once you have fired a total of fifteen shots at the Mini-Boss, he will retreat off the top of the screen and your ship will dematerialize as it automatically proceeds to the second dimension.

Dimension 2
Once the screen has started scrolling forward again, a group of two Nin will come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while afiring a hail of bullets down at you; once you have afired three shots at both of them to kill them, you will come to four Asteroids on the left side of the screen. Once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind - and a third Nin will then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while afiring another hail of bullets down at you.

Once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind - and a third group of two Yellow Pan will then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a fourth hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired four shots at both of them to kill them (for a third time, they will inflate and explode as you do so), the screen will stop scrolling forward and the surface of the planet beneath you will vibrate for a third and final time as the Mini-Boss (who, once again, looks somewhat like an enormous Purple Galaxian from the original Galaxian arcade game) immediately appears above your ship and begins to fire a fifth hail of bullets down at you once the surface of the planet has stopped vibrating.

Once you have fired a total of fifteen shots at the Mini-Boss, he will retreat off top of the screen and your ship will simply dematerialize as it proceeds to eleventh stage in this dimension.

Dimension 3
Once the screen has started scrolling forward again, an enormous Goei will come flying towards you on the left side of the screen; once you have fired three shots at it to kill it (yet again, its entire body will change colour from blue to green to purple as you do so), it will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. You will then come to nine Asteroids on the left and right sides of the screen - and once you have fired eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. You will then come to three more Asteroids are in the centre of the screen; once you have fired total eight shots at each of them to destroy them, they will not leave a blue Warp Capsule behind. Two more enormous Goei will then come flying towards you on the left and right sides of the screen - and once you have fired three shots at both of them to kill them (yet again, their entire bodies will change colour from blue to purple to green as you do so), two Nin will come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing a hail of bullets down at you. Once you have fired three shots at both of these Nin to kill them, two more Nin will come flying down towards you from the top of the screen while firing another hail of bullets down at you; once you have fired three shots at both of these Nin to kill them, the screen will stop scrolling forward and the surface of the planet beneath you will vibrate for a third and final time as the Mini-Boss (who, yet again, looks somewhat like an enormous Purple Galaxian from the original Galaxian arcade game) immediately appears in front of your ship and begins to fire a third hail of bullets down at it as soon as planet stops.

Once you have fired a total of fifteen shots at the Mini-Boss, he will retreat off top of the screen and your ship will simply dematerialize as it proceeds to eleventh stage in this dimension.
