Atari 2600 Galaxian Game Cartridge
(Atari - 1983)
The Atari 2600 version of Galaxian features similar gameplay to the original arcade hit. Just as in the original, you must battle different types of dive bombing aliens... each with a different attack mode.
They kept fairly faithful to the original... You must fend off four types of alien ships through nine separate, action packed levels. You will need nerves of steel to avoid incoming shots as you take on wave after wave of swooping attacks.
For playability this title is tops and well worth the investment. I would rate the gameplay for this one at 8-10 and the controls a 9-10. So my overall rating of 8-10... this game is a fun playable diversion you won't mind sinking some quality gametime into.

Galaxian for the Atari 2600 takes all of the elements of another 2600 classic game Space Invaders and makes it even better with more colors and more challenge with diving insect themed aliens i like this port of Namco's "Death from Above" shooter(shump)even more so than the arcade original surprisingly...It is fun to play and you find yourself going back time and time again trying beat your last high score and that is a hallmark of a great game.
