Finally this machine uses neon green t-molding (edge trim), it is difficult to find replacement trim in that same exact shade. The control panel and monitor bezel are not highly decorated, but do feature some game instructions. The marquee is rather large and displays a blue and green "Galaxian" logo (which is painted on a sheet of glass, they don't make them like that anymore). These machines are white, with painted sideart of a green dragonfly alien (done up in blue, green. Several other titles used nearly identical cabinets as well (all in all nearly a half million of these cabinets were produced worldwide, I have two of them myself). This was the first title to use the now familiar "Namco Cabinet", which was used for Galaxian, Galaga, Pac-Man, Ms.

The two games have a very different feel, despite their similarities. Although being good a Space Invaders does not mean you will be good at Galaxian. Or another way to describe the game is to say that it is Space Invaders in color, with enemies that come down to attack you. You can shoot ships out of the formation, or while they are attacking (they are worth about five times as many points if you shoot them while they are attacking). Simply shoot all of the alien ships to advance to the next level. Individual aliens will break off from the formation, and attempt to ram you ship (while firing at the same time). The top area is filled with several rows of invading alien ships. You control a space ship (which is called a " Galaxip") that can move left and right along the bottom of the screen. But if you don't know, here it is for you (should I use short words?).
GALAXIAN GAMEPLAY HOW TO
You already know how to play this game, at least if you care enough about video games to have read this far, then you will already know how to play Galaxian. Unfortunately it was overshadowed by its own sequel ( Galaga), shortly after release. Galaxian was an instant hit, due to its great gameplay, and colorful graphics. This is not the first game ever to be in color (a distinction it is often given incorrectly), just the first game ever to be in RGB color (which means it could have technically used any shade of any color on any object, although they only really used this well on the stars). This game holds the honor of being the first game ever to use true RGB color. In many ways they succeeded, producing a game with much more detail, and more varied gameplay as well. Namco designed Galaxian to be a better " Space Invaders" than Space Invaders was. Galaxian was an old arcade game released by Namco way back in 1979 (it was licensed to Midway in the United States).

(Insert random arcade ROM legality disclaimer here.) And for the most accurate arcade experience MAME would be a good bet on multiple computer platforms.
GALAXIAN GAMEPLAY PC
Of course for the PC there's tons of shareware and freeware clones.
GALAXIAN GAMEPLAY WINDOWS
The game has been ported to home videogame and computer systems everywhere, including the Atari 800, Commodore 64, Colecovision, Nintendo Entertainment System, MSX, GameBoy, the Sony Playstation (as part of the great Namco Museum series) and the IBM PC for Windows 95. The game has popped up all over the place in other Namco games too, such as the Pac-Man series, Dig-Dug, Ridge Racer series, and most recently in Gun Balina (known in the US and Europe as Point Blank 3). There were a few sequels to the game, including Galaga, Gaplus, and the laserdisc-based Galaxian3. In North America the machine was distributed, like many of the early Namco games, by Bally/Midway. Using the space invaders formula and speeding play up by having the bug-like enemies throw themselves at the player, Galaxian spawned a ton of rip-offs, clones, and homages, most of the earlier ones using the same hardware. Before Galaxian, color overlays were used on arcade screens.
GALAXIAN GAMEPLAY FULL
Notable for being the first full color raster game ever. Namco's third in-house arcade game, released in 1979.
