Wow, a real Namco edition ! Nice !

The CP and Overlay are definitly not original though. The Namco has pushbuttons to move left and right. I personaly hated that (I remember playing it like that a zillion years ago when I was still young).

However, very much worth restoring !!!!

I don't remember seeing a Galaxian with buttons...I remember Phoenix and Pleides...and Asterdoids, equally disliking the buttons for side-to-side...but as a kid, it was too much for me to keep track of. Definitely don't remember that side-art.

LAI were an australian company so their cabs will be slightly different to other countries. it seems to have a joystick though...

Original or not, looks like someone has an interest in converting it.  :'(
