It seems as though there has been a host of birthdays and anniversaries of late. Mario, Nintendo, Zelda, Dragon Quest…Ferris Bueller. On July 23, 2011 Galaga adds to the list. We have been enjoying this classic space shooter for thirty years.

To celebrate, Namco has released a collection of Galaga remixes for the iPhone. Entitled The Galaga 30th Collection it is a free download with a bonus game…Galaxian, a similarly fun play from the days of coin operated arcade goodness. Other games in the bundle need to be purchased to play. Gaplus, Galaga ’88 and the original Galaga are all part of the bundle.

While there is no emulation and the games are entirely remixed and modern, they do justice to the retro idea. Only the graphics are more modern…the game play is a lot like the good old days.

Read more about it here, or download your copy to celebrate three decades of a classic.
