Galax Attax
Galax Attax is a clone of Namco’s Galaxian , which was one of the first
shoot’em’ups to deviate from the original Space Invaders fare in favor of
things such as aliens with individual behavior and movement.
Your goal: Shoot down all the aliens as they fly in formation. If they break
free from their formation and fly at you, they are worth twice as many points,
while also being more dangerous.
On the Tandy computer, the game uses NTSC artifacting for colour on a black
space backdrop, whereas the Dragon version has been reprogrammed with a white
backdrop, which makes the orange bullets harder to see, resulting in an
overall more difficult game. The Tandy version was later reprogrammed with new
sprites which looked more like the insect-themed ones from the original
Galaxian instead of the more abstract ones of the first version.
