Galaxian 3 (also known as Galaxian³: Project Dragoon) is an arcade game released by Namco in 1990 and its immediate sequel as a scaled-down arcade cabinet in 1994. It is a walk-in style arcade game run upon a hybrid of laserdisc, and traditional arcade hardware. It uses multiple Namco System 21 boards with synchronized laserdisc players (up to sixteen boards and players in the original Galaxian³, and two in the Project Dragoon) to create the pre-rendered backgrounds of the game. Each player shares the same life meter and takes the role of one of many stationary gunner positions (up to sixteen/twenty-eight players for Galaxian³, and six for Project Dragoon), who are defending a spaceship against an onslaught of enemy ships. It was one of only two games that were released for Namco's "Theater 6" arcade system, the other being its immediate sequel, Attack of the Zolgear, which was released in 1994. This title was also Namco's first arcade game of the 1990s.

The game was ported to the PlayStation in Japan in 1995, and in Europe on April 4, 1996, which includes four-player support instead of the arcade's six-player support and letterboxing, as well as a bonus game called The Rising of Gourb.

From my side : The shortest railshooter you will ever play ... i would rage if i would bought it ... a passable game but i like my rail shooter to be something with more story context Virtual Cop / The Hive / The House of the Dead / Time Crisis / Chaos Control / Solar Crusade / Wetlands / Etc ..
