CHAMP Galagon

Player notes

About this game

CHAMP Galagon is a fixed-screen DOS shooter built around enemy formations that peel away and dive towards your ship. Slide across the bottom of the screen, avoid their missiles and pick your shots as they sweep back into formation. Challenge stages replace incoming fire with a shooting test, rewarding a complete clear with a large bonus.

Use Left and Right to move and Ctrl to fire with the original Keyboard 1 settings. Galagon Leaders can capture a ship with a tractor beam. The manual explains that shooting its captor during an attack can recover it for double firepower, but losing your last ship to capture ends the game. F1 opens help, F5 lets you inspect or redefine keys, and Esc opens the options menu.

This is the original shareware preserved in GALAG101.ZIP; its accompanying text labels the game version 1.0. The shareware ends when the score exceeds 20,000 points. Its Classic mode is included, while the advertised CHAMP-mode attack patterns and triple-fire features belong to the registered edition.
