Title: Galaga Font
Post by: N8 on April 17, 2007, 01:33:48 pm

Anyone have a galaga font?  I want to make a marquee/side art that looks like http://www.localarcade.com/4images/details.php?image_id=1005&mode=search but with galaga art instead.

The logo doesn't really look like a font to me. For the font on the control panel overlay I used a "Romic Extra Bold" font.

What are you trying to get it to say?

Does anybody know if this font is available for free anywhere?

been searching for a Galaga / Galaxian font for a while myself.  No luck  :banghead:

Someone on a diff. forum said that the font looks very similar to the work that Roger Dean has done in the past (apparently designed album covers for a couple bands).  I would have to agree, his logo on his webpage looks strikingly similar

Hey that's neat, my marquee lives on!

Yeah that is not a font. I used Paintshop Pro to try to approximate the look of Galaxian with Mame. I think I got close.
