## What Jamie wrote

Galaga is one of my favorite arcade shooters ever. I had no idea about this cheat!

> In the classic arcade game Galaga (1981), there is a well-known cheat for those who are patient. If you destroy all of the enemies on Stage 1 except for the left two enemies (shown to the right), then dodge their fire for about 10-15 minutes, they stop firing at you. At this point, you can safely kill them and no enemies will fire at you for the remainder of the game (they can still crash into you to kill you though).

I have some Galaga emulators and am going to try this cheat on them.
