Galaxian DescriptionA game where a spaceship flies back and forth shooting aliens in space.Cabinet InformationThe original cabinet is white with a painted picture of the player ship about to shoot a green dragonfly alien from the fleet. The painting is three color: Blue, Green (same as the T-molding) and Black, and uses the entire side area similar to original Pac-Man. This is unlike the restored graphic version shown in the 3D Tour photos.Game IntroductionYou are a space fighter pilot who must shoot wave after wave of aliens that look like dragonflies.Game PlayYou must shoot the aliens and their boss. Here are some tips for shooting the aliens: kill the boss and his two escorts, then shoot them when they are doing a somersault.Hacks- Buglaxian - A hack of the classic

The troubleshooting manual can be found at http://www.erinet.com/jamesm/tech/tech.htmTriviaThis was the first video game released with 100 percent of its graphics displayed in true RGB color.The Galaxian flagship is referred to as the "Galaxip" according to the game's manual, but in the actual game, the "Galaxip" is the player's ship. Notice the first screen after a credit has been inserted says "BONUS GALAXIP AT 4000 PTS". The flagship appears as an attacker on some levels of Galaga. It also shows up as a prize in several other Namco games, but it is not exactly identical. In Pac-Man for instance, the "flagship" is actually an ice cream sundae (look carefully for the differences). Legacy- Galaxian
