**BLAST THE GALAXIAN INVASION OUT OF THE SKY

THE THRILL OF THE ARCADE GAME**

You feel that spine-tingling exhilaration every time you play GALAXIAN in an arcade. Now the same sensation is yours at home. Wave after wave of Drones, Emissaries, Hornets, and Commanders come winging in from deep space. Skillfully, you slide your ship right and left with your joystick, dodging their fire and blasting them out of the universe.

Beware of the Galaxian fleet, for it is fast and strong, and experience in battle. Their warfare includes tricks to divert your attention. They force you to use foresight and caution, along with cunning and skill. The Galaxian fleet attacks in waves, with each wave approaching faster and faster. The warriors' ranks can be identified by the color of their uniforms, blue purple, red or yellow. You must protect your planet from this colorful, but undesirable, invasion.

THE GAME

The object of the game is to destroy the Galaxian fleet before they blast your laser base to stardust. You begin the game with three laser bases and score points for each Galaxian destroyed with your laser missiles. You earn extra points for destroying a Galaxian in flight and at 7000 points you receive a bonus laser base.
The Galaxian fleet attacks in waves. Each time you manage to destroy an entire wave another fiercer wave is launched.
Between shots your next missile sits on the nose of your ship. You can destroy an onrushing attacker just by touching him with it. Remember, the Galaxian Commanders who direct the attack are coloured bright yellow - but protecting them are their Red Hornets, Purple Emissaries and Blue Drones. Shoot Hornets only when they're attacking - earn more points that way.
