Galaxian with different (RARE) artwork on it... Anybody ever seen one?
« on: March 27, 2007, 07:11:17 pm »
Found this Galaxian on Ebay (not mine), and noticed the artwork was different.

Has anybody seen one of these before?

I'm pretty sure that's the galaxian we got in New Zealand and Australia, not 100% certain on that though. It looks pretty sweet BUY IT!

Read somewhere else that it is Willis sideart. I found that difficult to believe Will made it, since it looks cool instead of heinously ugly.

At first I thought it was a custom airbrush job, but then I read the description...

Looks pretty cool.  Wonder if anybody has examples of custom airbrush jobs they have done on their cabinets.

Certainly looks better than the usual run of Willis stuff, if that is what it is.

Weird and interesting ! What are a bunch of burning asteroids doing in that art ? That moon looks to be inspired on the bezel....

I just asked the seller what the Serial Number is. This one also has black T-molding....

Seems like Galaxians are popping up everywhere lately!  I suppose they aren't as rare as I had initially thought.  I don't think I like that sideart as much as the bugs.. the default side art seems cleaner to me.
