In this video you'll find gameplay of the first stage of almost every official Galaxian version (with the exception of the MZ-80B, FM-7 and the JAKKS Pacific, which unfortunately I couldn't find).
Unofficial clones, hacks and homebrew versions has been deliberatery excluded. Maybe in a future I'll make a video dedicated to them.
This has been another very tough video so I hope you give it some love.

I usually find the more primitive looking versions the more interesting ones. It's more fun to look at the ones who at least try than the ones who can do it effortlessly.
the first arcade game I played. I was 7 years old, my father controlled the joystick and I pressed the fire button!
What a beautiful memory. I love it.
Thank you, @@retrosutra
I had the Entex handheld game, and it was an absolute nightmare to see the bullets among the scrolling stars. In the end, my dad got some coloured acetate and stuck it over the screen to make the green stars look much darker, which finally made the game playable.
Damn, I've never been able to hit 100% accuracy in any version of this game, those ones that did impressed me.
Oh, man a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) tabletop version! Those are true classics. Ate batteries like crazy bc VFD is kinda the worst tech for this thing, but looked good.
I love the way the Bandai Tabletop just has Star Wars music lmao
Also, if I recall correctly, Satoru Iwata (R.I.P) worked on Star Battle!
You finally made it! Thanks!
I love how one of the ports just makes the spaceship look like this;

Excellent, I love Galaxian.
Why are the PC-8801 versions so absurdly fast?
I like 90's windows and PS versions, trying to simulate arcade's vertical display. There is also a new remake- Galaxian DX for C64
My favorite version is the NES because the music/sound is better.
The Atari 2600 port is surprisingly good, especially with the console's limits.
I played the Speccy version on a b/w tv, obviously pirated up the wazoo bc 1980s... good memories.
Best speccy version was the one from Artic Computing
@@simonebernacchiayes, much better!
Nice video, dude. Sadly, you missed a lot of ports I listed yesterday.
He's making a separate video for clones we're he'll include much of the unofficial ports not featured here. As for the emulated versions, well they're 100% to the arcade so no point in featuring them for the most part.

Galaxian is A VERY HARD GAME, but awesome!

My Dad was Playing Galaxian when he was little
Namco's Game that came out before Pac-Man
The NES adds 1 or 2 Player Option. How nice. Your finally able to ragequit XD. just kidding. But this is revolutionary to the game.
The NES is _noice._
Weird that the Windows version from 1998 is worse than the Windows version from 1996
Do galaxian death and game over version comparison 💥 👾
Oh yeah, I got a love the Apple, two versions of the games, their music to my FUCKING ears seriously how did people play this when it came out? I couldn’t even playlist for five minutes with the volume on honestly
my version of Galaxian on mobile: ruclips.net/user/shorts731dgbDoPPM
37:25 oh god my ears..
4:17 Nice try, Bandai. That's not the theme for Galaxian. That's the theme to Star Wars! LOL and YIKES on the CD-I version.
I wonder if they sat down with some lawyers and worked out exactly how many notes they could play before they got sued?
yey galaxian like this game nes version and arcade
Vous avez oublié la version Alice 32 (Tandy MC-10) 😭😭😭
haha, sorry but I believe that it is not an official version. If so, I could include it in a future video about the Galaxian clones.
@@retrosutra pourtant Galaxians est bien un jeu officiel sorti sur Alice 32 🤔
What I meant is whether is It a Namco licensed Galaxian or a clone.
@@retrosutra It's a clone called Galaxion but it plays perfectly like Galaxian. And yes, it runs on a Alice 32 system.
@@yayimoutofthestrike thanks for the information!
20:27 Sounds like chinese toy phones .
Galaxian (Sharp X68000)
Is It an official version?
@@retrosutra Galaxian X68K (19xx)(Gyo).zip
Yeah, there is an Sharp X68000 port of it but it's named _Galaxian '88_ or _Galaxian 2_ .
There's two versions of Galaxian on the Sharp X68000, one called Galaxian 2 and a pretty much arcade perfect port simply called Galaxian that released in 1996. Both of these are unofficial however.

The VIC-20 version is 10x better than the C64!
wouldn't the arcade version be the definitive version since it was, you know, first?
Not the "definitive", because any further upgrade (i.e. on a 16-bit console, for example) would be better, but it's definitely the OG one... You can't beat Arcade, EVER! U.U
@@giuliobarbera6227 To me, anything trying to copy the arcade is just that, copying. The original is the definitive. Everything else is just copying the original.
With some arcade games, their home console ports outdo their original versions for different reasons. I can think of a few games that arguably do so:
*Centipede (7800, 1986):* 2-player co-op.
*Columns (Genesis/Mega Drive, 1990):* nearly identical sound and graphics to the arcade version but with more gameplay options.
*Mario Bros Classic (NES [PAL], 1993):* more jump control and selectable difficulty but with all the cutscenes and features of the original.
*Ms Pac-Man (SNES, 1996):* more maze variations, selectable difficulty options, an optional dash feature, and 2-player co-op.
@@reillywalker195 Great you listed a bunch of games that are different from the original. I don't remember asking.
@@jasonm07You moved the goalposts of your argument. Of course home ports of arcade games aren't going to be the same unless they're emulations of said arcade games-that's a given. My point is that there are home ports that go beyond their arcade counterparts while still fundamentally being the same games. If we look at _Mario Bros_ as an example, _Mario Bros Classic_ for the European NES is fundamentally the same game as its arcade counterpart with the same fundamental mechanics but with slight changes that arguably elevate it to being a better version of the game; contrast that with _Mario Bros Special_ and _Punch Ball Mario Bros_ by Hudson Soft which have entirely different mechanics and definitely are different games despite being clearly inspired by _Mario Bros_ the arcade game.
Sorry for the bad taste, but no one better than a Japanese guy to program aliens with Kamikaze tendencies lol
