Galaga: Destination Earth is a 2000 3D video game, an update to the popular Golden Age arcade game Galaga. It was developed by King of the Jungle Ltd. and published by Hasbro Interactive. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation and Game Boy Color.

Destination Earth includes nine levels divided into "waves". Most of the levels are planets, like an Ancient Egyptianish Mars, Metropolitan Earth, and Saturn. Some are non-planet astronomical objects like the moon or the sun. On the final level the player finds themself on a "planetoid". There are three different views, each depending on the player's current wave: one from above (classic Galaga style), one from the side, and one 3D view.

If a tractor beam ship is destroyed, there is a chance that a cube will come out. If the player catches the cube, they will get a tempoary tractor beam that can suck up an enemy ship. If the player captures an enemy ship, for a limited time they can attack using both ships.
