This version of Galaxian for the Atari 2600 is an excellent port of the late 70s/early 80s-era arcade shooter. All of the enemy fighters look quite nice, as does your spaceship/laser cannon, there is relatively little flicker present for a 2600 game, and the sound effects are crisp and enjoyable. Control is also good, and while you can only shoot one shot at a time, one can learn quickly how to time those shots to increase the attack rate. I also found the cycling color effect during the title screen to be a lovely little touch. If you can find this game mint in box, then there is even an amusing Atari Force comic book that comes with it. Galaxian is a great game that I recommend to anyone who collects and plays Atari titles.

This is an arcade classic that is still popular today. Most people have played this game but if u havent the porpose of this game is that u r a ship and there is a bunch of other enemies ships up above u and u have to shoot them all before u get hit by one of their bullets. They come down after awhile and try to shoot u and u get lives and u know what happeneds after u run out. U have to start over. After u shoot them all u go to the next level which is harder and harder as u beat more. This is one of my favorite games for the atari.
