This Commodore 64 game entitled Galaxy -- released in 1983 by Kingsoft -- is a more graphical remake from the text-based version of Galaga that appeared on that very same computer in 1982. And despite the limited animations of the enemies, this game software piece is one of the much better conversions you will find on this classic home computer system alone, even today!!

Many elements from the original Namco 1981 arcade fixed shmup are here in Galaxy, including the infamous tractor beam and the ability to have double the firepower with both ships side-by-side!!!

And to show you what I mean, you can check out some video footage of the the *very* first c64 conversion of Galaga right here on YouTube at:

...just to see how much this 2nd and newer conversion has improved drastically!! ;)

Be seeing you later, and thank you so TRULY much for your viewing!!! ^_~=b !
