Bedlam vs Galaga

Bedlam flips the classic Tempest formula, placing your ship in the center of a sector while enemy craft surge outward from the edges. You steer left and right, using a Fast Rotate button to spin quickly and a single-use Zap to clear the screen when overwhelmed. The game features multiple enemy types, sector variations, and a simple ship‑loss mechanic that ends the game when all reserves are gone, offering both single‑player and multiplayer challenges for arcade enthusiasts.

Galaga puts you in control of a starfighter that slides along the bottom of the screen, blasting waves of insect‑like enemies that dive in formation. The goal is to rack up the highest score while avoiding enemy fire and the occasional tractor‑beam capture. The game adds dual‑shot firepower, a bonus Challenging Stage, and a unique capture‑and‑rescue mechanic that lets you free a captured ship for double firepower. Play solo or with friends, and watch the level counter roll over at 255 for a nostalgic glitch experience.
