Every few seconds one of the aliens will get out of the ranks to try to shoot the white ship and pull a WWII Japanese kamikaze on your ass. The aliens all appear on the screen at the same time, lining up in rows and columns. You use the white ships infinite fire power to take out the alien enemies. The gameplay is as simple as you'd expect from a game that was originally in '70s arcades. The only other sound is that of the aliens flying at you! Gameplay 5.0 If your white spaceship gets destroyed, you'll be treated to the sound of destruction. Every shot you take creates a poof noise, and when you destroy an alien, a strange gooey or wet sound is made, almost like a drop of water from a faucet. There's a nice futuristic sound that plays when you pause the game. When you start the first level, you are introduced to a quick intro of music that then ends with silence as the game begins. Also fun is the colorful explosion that occurs when you get hit and die. The best of the graphics is the black background with colorful stars twinkling and sailing by, to create the illusion that you're flying, albeit slowly. The laser shot that emerges from the tip of your ship is short, white and quick. The aliens all have the same structure, with a body and four legs flailing off of it. The spaceship you use to battle the aliens actually is quite detailed for such a small thing. If you like the simplicity of arcade-style graphics, then you'll also like Galaxian's.

The storyline is simple, as stated on the start screen: "MISSION: DESTROY ALIENS. Not much different than Space Invaders, the classic single screen shooter, Galaxian offers alien-attacking fun coupled with seemingly endless gameplay. Pretty impressive at the time, the game was re-released for the Famicom just five years later. Originally released in arcades way back in 1979, Galaxian was the first ever color arcade game. |
