Galaga Stage 256 on Medium Skill

See http://www.donhodges.com/galaga_stage_256_fix.htm for more info.

The arcade version of Galaga has a kill screen on Stage 256. What happens when you reach this stage depends on the difficulty setting of the game. On easy, the game resets. On hard, the words "Stage 0" stay on the screen forever. On the hardest skill, the game plays just like stage 1. However on the medium skill, the player is presented with what we see here: A cross between the 2nd challenging stage and a regular level where the enemies shoot.

I used MAME to warp to level 256 and recorded myself playing the level twice. The first time through I play as I would, the second time I don't shoot at all to show how it looks that way.

@everett191 Since you daid 256 and the game said 0, I just secided to make a joke!

[everett1911]

@flexyldy This is a terrible joke, then.

[flexyldy]

@everett1911 I know, I was just joking. And, it's actually that the game can't process 256, so it wraps back around to zero.

[everett1911]

@flexyldy it's the 256th level because 0 counts as a number. think of it this way: 255 + 0 = 256.

[flexyldy]

It's not 256, that's round 0! XD

@Failtacular100 I have it how it works is you download it and you. Just for the software then its like mods, Insept you download packets and when you get all of them you have about 150-200 games that are classic I play mine on my Logitech

When I miss one, I usually scream F*CK!.

I can get to stage 256 on Galaga arcade every time if I want to devote the 3 hours to do it. I've done it 3 times without dying.
