Galaga Arrangement is an arcade game that was released by Namco in 1995 as part of Namco Classics Collection Volume 1. The gameplay is basically the same as the original Galaga, except that:

• Rounds have been named; one is called the "Asteroid Field", and the background varies (such as asteroid belts, nebulas, etc.).
• When a boss Galagan captures a fighter, a player can shoot and retrieve the fighter while the boss Galagan is still in formation. Also, the game does not stop while the fighter comes back; game play still goes on.
• Boss Galagans have been split into three different types: yellow, green, and red. Green has a stronger, bigger shot; yellow gives rapid-fire; and red gives reflecting shots.
• Boss Galagans still use tractor beams even if the player has a double-ship; the boss Galagan simply steals the ship.
• In Challenging Stage, there are more varied formations, and the screen tilts around, making it tougher to secure a lock on the Galagans.
• There are more varied formations; Galagans come in different ways now, and there may be 2-3 formations before completing a stage.
• A screen (intermission) after completing a stage will pop up, stating destroyed-to-miss ratio and percent of defeated Galagans.
• Shooting rules have been considerably relaxed, with the player able to shoot more rounds faster than in Galaga.
• Simultaneous two-player gameplay is available.
• 31 stages of gameplay, with a final boss at the end of stage 31 named "King Galaspark" (a huge purple and red bug in the "Enemy-Comb Zone").
• A port of this game appeared on the first Namco Museum released for PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, but was removed from the 50th Anniversary Arcade Collection re-release.
