Atari's Galaxian

[Grevle]

I think this game look very nice, but are lacking in the sound fx. I had this game back in the day and while the the starfield and galaxians look pretty good,the sound fx doesn't really fit the game very well, dragging down the game i think. I think the Galaxian clone "galactic chase" has better sounds. Would be nice to see a sound hack of the Galaxian game to improve sound fx as this game is often overlooked it seems..

The flagship graphics was a "phone it in" effort - prob the same sound guy

Galactic Chase every time..

 

Same as Space Invaders, endorsed by Taito but just a horrible game..

 

Space invaders and Galaxian, two games the Atari folk wanted badly and badly is what they got. You know you have screwed a license when the 3rd party clones just destroy the official versions.

I like the Atari version of Galaxian and I agree, better sounds would be nice.  I first had it on the 5200 and played it frequently back in the day.  I am not a fan of Galactic Chase.

A8 Galaxian.  Still one of my Go-To games to this day.  I love everything about it.

For enhanced sound.... or more like a soundtrack, insert your favorite music cassette in the tape drive and press play. Then load Galaxian.
