Galacta   Albino Frog Software, 1992
User rating: No rating DOS Shareware (partial game) Screenshot

A ridiculously hard shooter, but more than just a Galaga clone. Hostile aliens have destroyed Pluto, Neptune and Uranus, as well as the defense force that was sent to engage them. This game is so difficult that you get seven ships to fight them with. Galacta adds power-ups like shields and lasers, occasionally an asteroid will enter the playing field, and the enemies don't merely enter the screen in formation, they fly in formation for the entire level. That means that enemies are never standing still, and the screen frequently fills with enemy fire. There are 3 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.

Episode 1: The Battle for Saturn
Episode 2: Last Stand on Mars
Episode 3: In Defense of Earth

Complete version history:
Galacta v1.1 Shareware Episode (152k) 1993
Galacta v1.0 Shareware Episode (110k) November 1992

Albino Frog Software has apparently released this game as freeware. Confirmation to follow.
