Pulstar now at Galloping Ghost Arcade

Developed by Aicom Co. Ltd and published by SNK in 1995, this side scrolling space shooter has you as one of the last hopes to push back an alien invasion that has destroyed half the solar system. Pulstar was one of the first games to heavily feature pre-rendered 3D graphics.

Battle Garegga now at Galloping Ghost Arcade

Developed by Raizing in 1996, this vertical shoot ’em up has you flying experimental fighters against legions of Federation armed forces. Notable to this game is it’s support pods that orbit around your fighter, and you have control of their formation. Also it’s dynamic difficulty system that adjusts on the fly for constant challenge. The better you play, the harder it gets.

The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy, now at Galloping Ghost Arcade

Released in 1990 from Data East, this side scrolling action-adventure has you controlling Edward Randy as he punches and whips his way across bi-planes, boats, trains, and trucks.

Make Trax now at Galloping Ghost Arcade

Developed in 1981 by Alpha Denshi and published in North America by Williams, Make Trax is a maze game where you must paint the entire maze without being caught. Eventually, a creature or human will appear to “make tracks” on your fresh paint and they must be stopped to complete the level.

Argus, a never released Gottlieb Prototype, now at Galloping Ghost Arcade, with custom cabinet art by Jeff Lee

Designed in 1982 by Gottlieb, Argus has you playing the role of a superhero protecting the city from assault from monsters, criminals, and supervillains, using a trackball to fly around the screen. The game was never released, making this a Galloping Ghost Arcade exclusive!

The cabinet art was custom made for Galloping Ghost Arcade by none other than Gottlieb’s legendary Jeff Lee, creator of Q*bert.

This is officially our 500th game at Galloping Ghost Arcade!

Exterminator now at Galloping Ghost Arcade

Released from Gottlieb in 1989, Exterminator is a rare oddball of a game where you go from house to house, killing bugs with finger lasers or crushing them with your bare hands.
