Is it worth the bother? I can get one of the pretty reasonable, just not sure its something I gotta have....
Any input on if its a must have game ?
 
Just like any game, its your personal preference. If you have fond memories of Galaxian, and it has strong replay value for you, then by all means, go for it.

I personally love my Galaxian, and I hunted for one for many years. It's now one of the more frequently played games in my collection and it's my 6 year old son's favorite game too.

Kyle :cool:
 
Shit yeah, it's worth the bother. Go for it.

Galaxian is one of those games that can grow on you. If it's a good enough deal, go ahead and get it. Play it for a while and if you don't like it, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a new home for it.

If you're not sure its something you gotta have, then it isn't something you gotta have. But if you do get it, then I agree with some of the others; it can grow on you. Great game.
 
I picked up a galaxian bootleg cocktail at the swap meet last saturday,i played a dozen or so games then gave it to my son who played a dozen or so games,he now has it on CL for what ever he can get out of it.The one bullet on the screen thing like SI sux,it makes it challenging(sc)but the replay value for me just isnt there.
 
LOVE Galaxian! Definatley an under rated game. The artwork on the stand up is almost as pretty as they come in my opinion.....Galaxian as the cocktail version is also GREAT, the paddle stick ads a slightly different dynamic to the game. One member on here sells a high score save kit and rapid fire option if that is your taste.
 
I like it fine but I wouldn't actively search for one. However, if there was one locally for sale with a good price, I would probably go for it. Good game and all but not a "grail" game for me. I have owned one previously and I got played frequently. I moved out of state and sold it to some friends, so I know it has a good home. Plus, my mom has one (birthday present years ago), so I can play it when I visit. That's my 2 cents. Yours depends on how fond you are of the game.

Good avatar, BTW. I love both Super Pac and Jr. Pac. The conversion, if well done is good as well.
 
Glaxian is harder than Galaga. That and it's simplicity make it a great game. Post pics when you bring it home.
 
There are free 4 in 1 and 8 in 1 hacks, and a 20 in 1 kit for Galaxian that adds other games, including a faster, rapid fire version of Galaxian. It extends the Galaxian game play, IMHO.

I love mine!! There is something about the sideart that gets me. Plus it was my first cab that wasn't a total piece of shit, so needless to say I have a soft spot for it.
 
The rapid fire hack makes this game way more fun. The standard version feels a little klunky afterward.
