Galaxian (Namco set 1) — About this game
Galaxian (Namco set 1) makes each shot a commitment. Only one can be in flight, so a miss leaves the ship waiting while another alien dives from the formation. Enemies are worth more during those attack runs, and the commander’s escort creates an opportunity for a larger bonus if handled in the right order. Moving along the bottom gives room to avoid a curved dive but no escape above the formation. Learn to meet a descending target with a measured shot, then move before its escort turns a promising scoring line into a collision.
