Galaxian is an arcade game that was developed by Namco and released in October 1979. It spawned a successful sequel, Galaga, in 1981, and the lesser known Gaplus and Galaga '88 in 1984 and 1987 respectively, as well as many later ports and adaptations. As in the earlier game, Galaxian features a horde of attacking aliens that exchanged shots with the player. Although not the first color video game, Galaxian took RGB color graphics a step further with multi-colored animated sprites and explosions, different colored fonts for the score and high score, the scrolling starfield, and graphic icons that show the number of lives left and how many stages the player had completed. Swarm after swarm of alien armies attack the player's ship that moves left and right at the bottom of the wraparound screen. The game was developed by Namco in 1979, and released in Japan that year.
