 Galaxian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galaxian was so successful that it spawned several follow-up games.
Like that earlier game, Galaxian featured a horde of attacking alien armies that exchanged shots with the player.
In contrast to Space Invaders, however, Galaxian added an element of drama by having the aliens periodically make kamikaze-like dives at the player's ship.

 MAWS - showing resource: galaxian
VFD handheld game (1981, "Galaxian 2", called Galaxian 2 because it can be a two-player game) by Entex (or Futuretronics).
Galaxian had smarter bad guys than "Space Invaders", and it demanded that the player really pay attention to what was going on.
Galaxian also had great sound and used elements that have since become standard -- such as flags and other symbols to mark the player's progression through different levels of game play.".

 Twin Galaxies Forums :: View topic - NEW World Record on Galaxian After Almost 20 Years !!
Some "Galaxian" players will strategically control which enemies they destroy first, in anticipation of the end-of-wave "swarms" that are the hardest part of the game, minimizing the chance for a "swarm" to appear at all.
Galaxian is a tough game -- I just played -- scored 2,680 ~ not good.
