When it comes to retro based arcade shooter titles the 80’s has some pretty cool titles during that time period. Two games that stand out the most to many people are Gradius which was developed by Konami and the Galaga game that was created by Namci back in the 80’s as arcade shooter titles both titles were challenging and forced players to spend a bunch of coins trying to complete each game in their entirety.

In terms of difficulty it’s hard to put some arcade shooter games over others since the first couple of stages in most of them seem equally as challenging. In terms of which title was popular between Gradius and Galaga is debatable among many people who were gamers during that time period. However, in terms of popularity there are many who would argue that Galaga was a bigger game than Gradius was in general.
