Site History

This site has been online in one form or another since 1999 — originally as hand-coded HTML, migrated through various hosts over the decades, and now back to pure static HTML where it belongs. Below is a complete preserved record of every post ever published here.

October 6, 2026 New Feature

Easily Play In Your Browser!

No more setup. No more nonsense. The game was torn apart and rebuilt from scratch in Jet64 — overseen by Deluxe Galaga experts like me, for authenticity. This is now available to play, right here, in your browser — anytime, anywhere. Big thanks to David (be sure to check out his project page linked in the play page). What are you waiting for? Go NOW!

May 15, 2022 Site Update

SteamDeck Tutorial Added (oh and 2022 says 'hi')

Is it really 2022 already? Sheeze, what happened?

We have a new tutorial — to help those with the new Valve Steam Deck portable PC gaming unit get their favorite game running in full.

April 8, 2018 Site Update Download

Welcome to 2018!

We got the domain name back. We've moved the site to WordPress. We have an all new PC based installer that is even easier to use than ever before (you'll still have to provide your own Kickstart image).

Next year we celebrate 20 years of supporting this amazing game. Thanks for being here with us.

Hi! Wanted to download the RAR file of the music mods — but the only link there is to the RAR website, not the file :(

admin site owner December 19, 2018

Man, now I can't find the original file I made. I'll have to search for it :(

Warblade New Beta Out …

Not much new — just fixed some bad images. Get over to Warblade's site and get the latest beta.

November 9, 2000 Site Update Download Warblade

Warblade Announcement, Docs Added

First off, get yer butts over to Edgar's page and check out some of the new screenshots for the PC version of Deluxe Galaga, WARBLADE. Damn, I can't wait! We also have some older screenshots and video clips here at the Official DG page.

Next, we've added the OFFICIAL Deluxe Galaga Docs (converted to HTML from AmigaGUIDE format) online. You might learn some useful things about the game from reading it — I sure did!

November 5, 2000 Download Emulation

WinFELLOW DG on HDD

We've done it! We've created a version of the HARD DRIVE version of Deluxe Galaga that runs on WINFELLOW! That's right — the FULL ECS version featuring enhanced graphics and sound effects! You Win2K folks can now play the full meal deal.

July 3, 2000 Site Update Emulation

FAQ Update, WinFELLOW

Added a few items to the FAQ (namely the keys to use while playing — seems folks can't find the right CTRL key). Getting one or two mails a month about it, so it's added to the FAQ.

Good news — Deluxe Galaga seems to work fine in the latest incarnation of the WinFELLOW emulator. Windows 2K/NT folks can finally play Deluxe Galaga. Check out my own Amiga Emulation Zone for more about this emulator and to get more Amiga games.

January 5, 2000 Download Site Update Award

DG on HDD!

Finally got around to adding the Hard Drive version of Deluxe Galaga for emulation under the PC. You'll have to provide your own KICKSTART, but everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) else is provided. This is the easiest way to play Deluxe Galaga on the PC.

The Official Deluxe Galaga Website took 5th place in the Opera Software Best Web Page contest!

November 7, 1999 Site Launch Site Update

New Additions to the Site — The Beginning

New additions to the site — mainly a WHAT'S NEW area, Screenshots/Media, and Deluxe Galaga PC. The latter is an area for the latest news on Deluxe Galaga for the PC (currently named WAR BLADE). We'll be adding great video clips and screenshots in the Media area — starting with a Rolling Demo (non-interactive movie) of War Blade, the PC version currently in development.
