Galaxian is a classic fixed-shooter arcade game, ported to the Atari 5200 in the early 1980s. With its genre rooted firmly in the space shooter category, players control a spaceship at the screen's bottom, tasked with repelling waves of descending alien attackers called Galaxians. The goal is to eliminate the enemies while dodging their kamikaze dives and relentless bombardments. The game features colorful 2D sprites and offers a straightforward yet challenging experience, characteristic of the golden age of arcade gaming—a true test of reflexes and shooting precision.
