Galaxian

The NES game Galaxian or "Galaxia" is a platform shooter which was originally developed for the arcade game in Japan in 1979 and was later re-released on other platforms.

The plot as such, the game Galaxian has no, the only thing that is known - you are a pilot of a spaceship and must defend the Earth from the attacks of alien ships. The alien ships attack in waves, i.e. they gather in a group and attack your ship in turns, when you break up the whole group the next one arrives. As you go through these waves, the difficulty of the game increases, due to more frequent attacks by the enemy.

Galaxian was one of the best-selling games in the U.S., in our country it came with NES and was available to every console owner, so it did not cause much excitement. The game's developer was inspired by the popular at the time of the film "Star Wars" and from there came the design of a spaceship model. The developer provided game balance so that enemy attacks had an even load on the player and it was possible to pass them.

All in all, Galactica is an excellent space shooter that will keep you hooked for hours. Galaxian's 2-player mode is also a big plus point in terms of gameplay. Because of its popularity, Galaxian received a sequel in 1981, called Galaga and formed a series of games.
