Galaga (NES, Famicom Disk System)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Sure this port of Galaga is excellent since Namco handled this port themselves, but "Demons of Death" is a good contender for the "WORST. SUBTITLE. EVER."

Regional Differences#

Title Screen#

Japan (Famicom)

Japan (FDS)

US

The Japanese title screen features the original NAMCOT logo, along with the standard copyright information. The FDS version updates the copyright year.

The US title screen removes the NAMCOT logo, replacing it with the copyright information, plus a trademark signifier and further information on Bandai and Nintendo of America's licensing.

US

Europe

The European title screen is almost exactly like the US one, though keeping Nintendo's license as simply the company's name, not the country's division.

Japan (Famicom)

Namco Museum Archives

The version in Namco Museum Archives Vol. 2 uses the Japanese NAMCOT logo, and updates the copyright information to refer to Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. instead.
