Gaplus (ギャプラス, Gyapurasu) is a fixed shooter arcade game that was released by Namco in 1984. It was the only other game to run on Namco Phozon hardware, and in the US, a modification kit was later released to change the name to Galaga 3, possibly to increase recognition among fans of the games even though there was no "Galaga 2".
There are few known ports of this game. It appears on some multi-game cartridges, which were released long after its arcade release. It was ported to the Sony PlayStation in 1996 as one of the games featured in Namco Museum Volume 2, using its original name, Gaplus. It was also released on mobile phones with its Galaga 3 title, and is also part of the Namco Museum Remix (2007) and Namco Museum Megamix (2010) for the Wii with its original title being used. The original version was later re-released under its original name for the Wii Virtual Console Arcade on March 25, 2009 in North America, at a cost of 600 Wii Points (500 Wii Points in Europe and Australia).
We come from a time so different from this
Sometimes your era can be a bliss
Back then to hear the music that we play
Was not that easy as it is today
People had to travel some hundred miles away
But was it really worth the price they had to pay
Without amps we were not loud enough
And our music of that time was not that rough
Modern times throw me in a daze
My eyes are burning from the blaze
Fells like being in a pit - But
I get used to it
Cello Solo
If there was something to celebrate
Something to commemorate
We had much more than a cask of wine
This is why we lost track of time
Klarinettensoli
To court our men had much more to dare
To get the Ladies - it's so unfair
Two hundred years later, how hace men advanced
It's all so clear, the ladies lead the dance
Modern times throw me in a daze
My eyes are burning from the blaze
Fells like being in a pit - But
