A fantastic recreation of the arcade attract screen. I strongly suggest this, and I'm going to try to convert it over to the FDS as well, for myself.

It's simply beautiful, and it's what Namcot should have done with the original screen. Why their arcade conversion title screens were so hideous, I'll never know.

By any chance, I wonder if the author of this is considering an 'AC' for Galaga, as part of his line of Arcade Conversions, for that might prove be interesting.

There are a few very slight things off in the NES/FC version, that could probably be fixed by this man. :)

An option for 'fast shots', as per the Midway 1 ROM variant, would be good too.

It seems simple but makes it fresh!Greyfox2016-01-03Version 1.0

This hack gives a fresh look to this classic. Totally recommended.
