Galaxian

Superior Space Invaders clone. The first ever game to have colour graphics, using real sprites to make for an impressively attractive game.

# 2006

Beware of the Galaxian fleet, for it is fast and strong, and experience in battle. Their warfare includes tricks to divert your attention. They force you to use foresight and caution, along with cunning and skill. The Galaxian fleet attacks in waves, with each wave approaching faster and faster. The warriors' ranks can be identified by the color of their uniforms, blue purple, red or yellow. You must protect your planet from this colorful, but undesirable, invasion.
