Galaga Cheats

There is a well-known cheat that causes enemy units to stop firing. It works on most (but not all)
machines. Here it is:

On the first stage, kill everything but the two bees in the bottom left corner. Then just wait,
dodging the bees' shots, until the bee no longer drops any shots towards you. After the bees stop
firing, let it pass for 5 more trips or so and then kill them. For the rest of the game, the enemies
will not drop shots. It will take approximately 15 minutes for the bees to quit shooting at you, so
this trick requires a lot of patience.

Some people have reported that this trick also works with two bees from the RIGHT side of the
screen...

Note that, in a 2-player game, only one person has to do the cheat for both players to benefit.

The "Player 1" score counter in Galaga is 6 digits, but the "Player 2" counter is seven digits.
Therefore, most good players start a 2-player game and play exclusively on the Player 2 side so
their score won't "roll over" at 999,990.

Challenging stages are easier if the high score numbers are used to refine your aim. These tips
assume a 6-digit high score:

On the first 2 challenging stages, aim your ships so that your left set of bullets falls between the
second and third numbers in the high score list.

On subsequent challenging stages, aim one set of your bullets between the first and second
numbers in the high score list (if the units come from the left) or between the last and next-to-last
numbers (if the units come from the right). This will allow you to hit descending enemies at the
highest possible point.

Here is a neat (and useless) Galaga trick: It is possible to end the game with a 200% ratio. The
200% hit-miss ratio trick can only be done with your first shot of the game. When the game starts,
don't move, and fire only one shot. If you time it correctly, two enemies will be killed at once. Let
your remaining ships be destroyed, and presto: a better-than-perfect result. Screen Shot

If you have more than 7 extra men, the marker for the screen will only show 7 1/2 (!) men
remaining. Additional extra men will still be credited, even though they won't show on the
screen.

Galaga "rolls over" after stage 255. After finishing the 255th level, the screen says "Stage 0" and
the machine locks up. I have heard unconfirmed reports in the past that the "Stage 0" problem
can be circumvented if the last two numbers in your score at the end of level 255 are (?? 80 is
what I remember, but it may be something else)

If anyone has any further information about this, I would appreciate hearing it...

After the 1,000,000 mark, new ships are no longer awarded.

Ms. Pac Man Cheats

I was playing the first screen and the aqua ghost was heading up at the top of the screen. Instead
of turning and following along the top of the screen he continued up and off the top and
reappeared from below.

It's hard to repeat consistently, but this happens when you turn him blue while he's still inside the
center box and then eat him right at the door. You can turn him blue again even though he's not
following the maze, eat him, and have his eyes get lost because they don't know how to get back
to the box. MORE COMPLETELY USELESS FUN!!!

After the 255th level (?), the maze (including dots) disappears. The game becomes unplayable,
since there are no more dots to eat.

Pac-Man Cheats

Idle trick: Need a breather? Just park yourself in the spot immediately and to the right of where
you start, and make sure that no monsters are "looking" at you when you do it. The monsters will
run all over the maze, but they'll never find you. Go to the bathroom in peace.

After the 255th level, Pac-Man locks up with an interesting split-screen effect. This lockup does
not occur if, at the end of level 254, the number "255" appears at any point within your score.
