Galaxian

Blast the Galaxian invasion out of the sky.

DECLARATION OF WAR!
No sooner did you join the Defense Federation than the tranquility of your peaceful planet was shattered. You are under attack by the evil Galaxians. With no prior
training you must complete your first mission — defending your planet. On-the-job training is the only option, but you must go out and do your duty
YOUR FIRST COMMAND
You learn that the invasion has something to do with a centuries-old civil war. Eons ago, the Galaxians ruled the cosmos, but their empire became corrupt. Four thousand years ago, your people were able to win their independence.
Galaxians have no right to your planet, and you're willing to put your life on the line to prove it. Your ship blasts off and before you know it, you're in battle with the evil Galaxian Fleet. An entire batallion of invaders descends toward your planet. Your commando ship suddenly becomes the target of a missle ambush.
COUNTER ATTACK
Suddenly the Galaxian Fleet breaks apart, and a batallion swoops down firing their laser cannons. You know that Flagships are usually flanked by their protective guards. Their colorful patterns on your tactical spectrascope mark the ranks of the Galaxian Fleet.
Slide your ship to the left and right and fire your missiles to protect your ship from annihilation. Press the "FIRE" button to shoot a missile. Time your shots carefully, because another missile cannot be fired until the first missile has cleared the screen or hit an alien. The Galaxian Fleet is fast and strong and they have lots of battle experience. Their tactical equipment allows them to
dodge your cannon blasts, and their tricks divert your attention. This Galaxian ability to pull off unexpected surprises forces you to use foresight and caution.
Your cunning and skill are in high demand.
HOLD YOUR GROUND
The battle is over, and the initial attack has been repelled.
You've won the first round, but can you win the war? They'll be back, but stronger than ever. They'll have to contend with you, because you'll be
manning the commando ship and waiting courageously to defend your planet and defeat the Galaxian Fleet. Use your accurate aim and quick
reflexes as well as strategy and forethought. A foolish move could cost you a life, the battle, and the planet.
