Ever since I was a little dude eating Froot Loops before watching 5 hours of Saturday Morning Cartoons, I've known of Galaxian. They had offers for it on cereal boxes (Does anyone but me remember these? They had offers for Galaxian, Zaxxon and one other game - but I don't remember the cereal brand that ran the offer.) and made references to it on TV. Fast forward 25 years, and I watch all the folks with Galaga Fever, thinking, "WTF? Galaga? Don't they mean Galaxian?" But most people you talk to either know or love Galaga. For me, it has always been Galaxian. Well, thanks to Bradley C (flynn54321) I finally have my Galaxian. I'll be cleaning this one up and into the Outer Limits it goes:

Sweet! I've always been a fan of Galaxian.. More over Galaga. I just get sick of seeing galaga so much... the game was designed to draw in quarters not quality.

I heard you got the better end of that shifty trading deal... :) well least by my standards.
 
Galaxian rules !

So what is your plan for fixing it up . I'm picking one up soon too .
 
Shit man, ya gotta warn a fella that there's a Primal Rage in the pics. Now I gotta clean all this vomit off of my monitor.

Damnit, Nick, can't you please warn a fella when vomit is going to be mentioned?

Now I've got to clean all this puke off of my keyboard and mouse!

(What was that movie... Sandlot? No, wait... Stand By Me? Where the kid pukes, and then all the other kids start puking? :D)

Nice looking Galaxian BTW, Phet!
 
Nice pick up my man, I too am a fan of Galaxian. Actually this thread has inspired me, I may throw a monitor in my Galaxian tomorrow and play a few games.

It was Stand By Me. One of the boys is telling the story about the kid who pukes all over the place and gets the whole crowd started at the pie eating contest...

Do it. This one had a bad power molex on the monitor so it would go dim randomly. I crimped on a new one, and now the monitor looks great. This game is as fun as I remember. Simple like Space Invaders, but that much better. Even the firing sound [qiiish, qiiish, qiiish] brought me back.

Hahahahah!! :D I loved that part!
 
nice galaxian. the art's in pretty decent shape from what you usually see. i still need to find one in my area. galaga's fun too, but i prefer the play of galaxian.
 
Nice Galaxian. Much like the pacman I had a short while I miss the Galaxian I had and wish I had stuck to the original plan to make it a 60 in 1 with the ability to play the original PCB at anytime (versus a Galaga 60 in 1).



Rich is suppose to be screening the side art and doing another run of the front art soon.

how much does that art run ?
 
I love that Blue T-molding. Where'd you get it? And why is there no blue in your kickplate art?

I like it better than the green:

It came with blue t-molding (original) and no blue on the front art. Pretty neat if you ask me.

I'm pretty sure T-molding.com has the correct t-molding and I have a sample (or samples) around here somewhere.

Those damn bugs are sweet looking on the side of the cabinet!
