Galaxian (XXL) for the Atari 8-bit family
Came also out for:
Apple II (Well, it is a port from there, so...)
Game description:
The XXL version of "Galaxian" is a port of the Apple II version, which was later renamed to "Alien Rain", to avoid lawsuits.
Galaxian is a shoot 'em up in which the player is at the bottom of the screen, with an arrangement of aliens at the top. The player moves left and right to aim at an alien, then shoots a bullet up the screen, and the alien it hits is killed. The aliens are classed as Drones, Emissaries, Hornets and Commanders, with those higher up the screen scoring more points when destroyed. At set intervals an enemy will move down the screen towards you, escorting a bomber, which is a moment of high danger. Clear a wave and another is generated.
What I think:
Okay version, but I really prefer the one by Atari USA.
