Where's Galaxian and Gaplus?
I know Galaga is the best one, but the other 2 are fun as well.

I have Gaplus for my Wii, but considering how obsolete it is, I never know when Nintendo will drop support for Digital games on the Wii.

We should have the ENTIRE Namco Museum Anniversary Edition, which is pretty much the same games but for some reason they've decided to chop it up and only release a few games.

Hell, even the Sega Dreamcast had Namco Museum for craps sake.

I play both of these fun titles on C64, but it'd be great to have original editions for Steam similar to this release of Galaga for sure. I'm finding it great practice for the real thing on a cabinet. :)

That's a Konami game. It is available on the XBOX 360 and XBOX One. I have no idea why it isn't on the PC as well.

It's illegal and can't be discussed here. If a dev sees posts on emulation, the poster may get banned.

That's the point, none of us have arcade versions of those games.

Valve also says in its rules not to discuss such stuff.

Advocating for the piracy of games is against the Steam rules but downloading roms is not necessarily illegal. They are many legal roms. In fact, the Sega Classics workshop on Steam hosts a number of roms and modified roms and the Sega Classics games themselves are literally rom files.

They definitely need to port Galaxian, Galaga '88/'90, and any other related games over. WHY HASN'T THIS HAPPENED/TAKE MY MONAY!!!

Yes, the NES version of Galaxian. It does play well, though. Alien attacks are a bit different, and shooting a yellow boss alien doesn't completely stop them from attacking for a few seconds like it does in the arcade version. I'm happy to play both, unlike Galaga, where I don't like the NES version much.

I wish they would release Galaxian in this Arcade Game Series. I'd have a better chance of climbing the global score table than I have in Galaga!
