Microsoft made Galaga available for download on the Xbox Live Arcade for 400 points. It is very arcade accurate, and contains achievement points that can be earned for completing certain tasks or stages. Unlike the arcade version, Microsoft/Namco have fixed this version to go past level 255. Once you complete all these levels, the game starts over at level 1. You can select from any of the levels up to 254. Level 255 is the last bonus level.
