Editor note

Monsters in this home-arcade classic seem to take it personally when you gun down one of their kind."
The original name of this game was actually Apple Galaxian, but both the company that produced the arcade game "Galaxian" and Apple Computer objected to their name being used in the title of this game, so Broderbund was obligated to change it to something else.
This became quite typical for computer translations of arcade games; even if it looked and acted much like a particular arcade game, it was unlikely that the game's arcade name would appear on the personal computer version, unless it was an "authorized" version.
