Put Galaxian on my machine last night. It was the first time I have played Galaxian in quite some time. Granted, I'm not the greatest game player (truth be told I am much better at building a game than playing it) but damn it seemed hard. I only played a couple times but I didn't even get past the first board. Is Galaxian that hard or do I just suck that bad? Perhaps there is a trick I am missing?

At least your not inserting quarters to find out you suck at Galaxian.
-
ha ha ha
yes it is hard. I usually only get to third level without dying

1) wiggle stick left and right
2) shoot
3) don't die!!
hehe. i think we're all used to galaga which moves much faster and where you don't have to wait for the bullet to 'die' before you can shoot again...
-
The trick is not to watch what your shooting at but watch the shots the galaxians are firing. I focus on the bottom third of the screen.
But I still suck. Yes! Galaxians is hard. Do you play Galaxians Turbo? It's a fast shoot hack.

BTW It really really sucks that it only remembers 1 high score.

Why don't you try "Chicken Shift" at least you probably get a couple of levels done, but after that, your BRAIN will HURT from thinking.

When you get into a corner, get out as soon as possible, or the purple guys will nail you.

that and moon lander >:(

Yes chicken shift is outragous. I laugh ---my bottom--- off when I play this!
22000 is the best I have done in galaxians.

Thanks for the tips...actually got past the first screen! 8) ::)

I can't remember my high score but I have made it to about level 40. And no I'm not kidding.

holy Saavul, the seven-headed goat-god (who will eat the moon one hundred years hence)!! man, when blackmailer said hed got to 22000, i thought cool that gives me something to aim for. but level 40? :o >:( :( :'(
-
Well I should probably qualify that. I used to get up around 40th lvl regularly but I was 12 and I did play ALL THE TIME. That's back when I used to be able to get up to about wave 10 on Scramble.
