■ 게임 설명

남코(Namco)에서 1979년에 만든 슈팅 게임으로 갤러그의 전작에 해당하는 게임.

스페이스 인베이더가 대히트를 치자 남코에서 그 게임을 개량해서 이제 적이 단지 위에만 있는게 아니라 밑으로 내려오게 만들었고,

그 결과로 이 게임도 당시에 히트를 쳤다. (물론 갤러그 정도의 대히트는 아니었지만)

또한 오락실 최초의 컬러화면 게임이기도 했으나, 당시 한국 오락실에서는 컬러모니터가 아닌 흑백 모니터 + 색셀로판지 조합으로

가동하는 경우가 많았다.

MSX와 패미컴으로 이식되었으나, 당시 8비트 게임기 세대들 중에 이 게임을 오락실에서 현역으로 접하지 못한 사람들은 이 게임이

나온 시기를 생각하지 못하고 갤러그의 어설픈 짝퉁으로 착각하는 경우가 많았다. (특히 합팩으로 해 본 사람들은 더더욱 그랬다)

하지만 이 게임이 남코 황금기를 열었다는 것에 충분히 의의가 있다.

MSX판 갤럭시안은 MSX 2에서 돌아가지 않아서 문제가 되었던 것으로 유명하다.

이게 뭐가 문제냐면 MSX 2는 발매 당초 "MSX 1과 완전한 상위 호환성을 가지고 있다. (즉 MSX1 소프트웨어가 100% 호환된다)"

라는 점을 상당히 부각시켰었는데 그렇지 않을 수 있다는 점을 보여준 사례였다는 점.

드물게 이런 소프트웨어가 몇 개인가 있었는데 그 중에서도 갤럭시안이 인기 소프트웨어였기 때문에 알려진 사례이다.

MSX 2 발매 이후에 나온 수정판은 MSX 2에서도 잘 돌아간다.

스크린샷에서 맨 윗줄에 보이는 적의 플래그쉽은 이후 팩맨을 비롯한 다른 남코 게임들에서 점수 아이템으로 종종 등장하기도 했다.

주인공의 우주선이 묘하게도 스타크래프트의 배틀 크루저와 닮았다.

먼 훗날에 나온 플레이 스테이션용 레이싱 게임 릿지 레이서의 로딩시간 중에 이 게임을 플레이할 수 있다.

본래는 차량을 4종류만 사용할 수 있지만 로딩게임 갤럭시안을 클리어하면 나머지 8대의 차량이 언락된다.

■ History

Galaxian (c) 1979 Namco.

is a legendary single-screen shoot-em-up that took everything that made Taito's ground-breaking "Space Invaders" so good, and improved upon it on every level. Each screen starts with a wave of multi-coloured aliens moving left and right at the top of the screen; the aliens quickly break ranks and start dive-bombing the Galaxip (player's ship) - either in single units or in groups of 3 - dropping multiple missiles as they descend. All of the aliens need to be destroyed before the player can progress to the next wave.

CAST OF CHARACTERS:

Galaxip : This is the name of the ship which you control at the bottom of the screen.

: These attacking aliens come in 3 varieties, blue, purple, and red. They begin in formation at the top of the screen and will occasionally swoop down to attack you before returning to their position in the formation.

Flagship : At least two of these appear at the top of the formation at the start of each stage. They will swoop down to attack with one or two red s if any are nearby. If a flagship is one of the last enemies left of the screen, it will run away and appear as a third Flagship at the start of the next stage.

- TECHNICAL -

This was the first title to use the now familiar 'Namco Cabinet', which was used for , "Galaga", "Pac-Man", "Ms. Pac-Man". Several other titles used nearly identical cabinets as well. These machines are white, with painted sideart of a green dragonfly alien (done up in blue, green. and black). The marquee is rather large and displays a blue and green '' logo (which is painted on a sheet of glass, they don't make them like that anymore). The control panel and monitor bezel are not highly decorated, but do feature some game instructions. Finally this machine uses neon green t-molding (edge trim), it is difficult to find replacement trim in that same exact shade.

The earliest machines used a 25-inch G02 monitor, but later machines shipped with the standard 19-inch Electrohome G07 monitor. Any normal standard resolution arcade monitor should work as a replacement. "Pac-Man" PCBs will work in machines, but require a 4-way joystick, instead of the 2-way model that normally has. The sound pinout is also different, so one would need to rewire the connector to hear any Pac-Man sounds. You can also plug a PCB into a Pac-Man. Again, the sound would need to be wired up at the connector and you'd have to push UP on the joystick to fire :)

- TRIVIA -

Space battles of all kinds played a major role during the golden age of video games. With the introduction of in 1979, players were transported to the most colorful and challenging space battle yet.

This was the first video game released with 100 percent of its graphics displayed in true R.G.B. color.

* A place in video game history : " captivated the minds of quite a few arcade enthusiasts," said Chris Lindsey, director of the National Video Game and Coin-Op Museum in St. Louis. "It was a relatively early entry in the golden age of video games, and it capitalized on the enthusiasm created by the earlier video game classic, "Space Invaders", while providing a more colorful, enjoyable, and demanding gaming experience.

had smarter bad guys than "Space Invaders", and it demanded that the player really pay attention to what was going on. And there were no shields, like many games have today. You really had to stay on the ball. also had great sound and used elements that have since become standard -- such as flags and other symbols to mark the player's progression through different levels of game play.".

* The great 25-cent escape : " definitely gets an enthusiastic response," Lindsey said. "In fact, I deliberately position the game near the entrance of the museum. Often it's the first game people go to." Lindsey often sees parents trying to convey to their child the excitement of these great games. "It is funny for me when I see a father trying to explain a game to his kid. Junior really just wants to get on the game and figure it out, and Dad wants to do a demo. Dad starts instructing Junior while Junior is sort of looking around, wondering how he can get away. But Dad continues, busily explaining the nuances of the game, which he knows Junior can't get on the first play. This all shows the enthusiasm that a certain generation still has for these terrific games."

With or without a parent's help, Lindsey sees a younger generation embracing the classic arcade games. "Kids by themselves will actually do quite well on these games," Lindsey said. "I'm somewhat surprised when I see how good kids are at picking up games. I sort of think that because I'm older, I should be able to play better, and that's not always the case with video games. That's a lesson an entire generation has had to learn.".

* Namco notes : was one of Namco's first video games, and engineers throughout the company were gathered into a special team. As the game neared completion, the engineers suspected they had created a good game because other Namco employees were extremely "excited and crazy about the game." Once was released, they knew they had a winner because, as one Namco engineer reported, "People [at the arcades] piled their coins onto the game cabinets to keep playing, and those who were waiting were very irritated because their turn never came. There were huge lines of people around each machine.".

The Flagship became a trademark of Namco as it makes cameo appearances in other Namco classics :

"Pac-Man" and "Pac-Man Plus" as the prize in levels 9 and 10.

"Galaga" as as the third of three "transforms" (enemies that a Bee can transform into when it splits into 3).

"Dig Dug" as the prize in levels 16 and 17.

"Super Pac-Man" as the food item of level 15.

"Pac & Pal" as the power-up item of levels 1 and 2.

A silver-gray version appears as an enemy in later areas of "Super Xevious".

A 3-D version appears as a prize in later levels of "Pac-Mania".

The board layout in level 5 of "Quester".

Gary Whelan holds the official record for this game with 1,114,550 points, achieved the 24th August 2006 at Dukinfield in the UK.

A unit appears in the 1983 movie 'Joysticks' and the sitcom 'Two and a Half Men'; Season 5, Episode 2 (People Who Love Peepholes). It is also heard (but not seen) in the 1987 James Bond movie 'The Living Daylights'.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* The action starts immediately as soon as you start your game. The s will be set up in formation and your Galaxip will be placed in the middle of the bottom of the screen. The action starts immediately. You can only have one shot in the air at any time so plan your shots accordingly. The game starts off slowly with only 2 or 3 s attacking your Galaxip at one time. They will drop 3 to 4 laser shots. As the waves progress, more s will come after your Galaxip until you will usually have 10-15 at any one time swooping down on it.

Each wave starts out with the s in formation, in the following quantities (in order from top to bottom) :

Flagships : 2 (plus any that have escaped from battle in the previous wave, up to a maximum of 4 altogether)

Red s (Escorts) : 6 (in 1 row, directly below the flagships)

Purple s : 8 (in 1 row, directly below the red s)

Blue s : 30 (in 3 rows of 10, directly below the purple s)

Flagships and red s are special enemies : they create convoys. Flagships have other special properties (see below). Purple and blue s are regular enemies.

* The Galaxip can fire only shot on the screen at a time. It is possible to kill 2 enemies with one shot if they are flying extremely close to each other.

* Missiles shot at the formation which miss by going between columns or near an outer edge of a column, will cause the formation to pause its left-right movement for a very short moment. This will usually, but not always, prevent missed shots near the columns from hitting the enemies in the upper rows of the formation which might otherwise be hit by moving into the shot as it flies by.

* Enemies peel away from the formation and attack the Galaxip. Enemies fire at the Galaxip during their attack, but they can뭪 fire after they pass an invisible horizontal line just above the Galaxip.

* Enemies always begin attack runs from the edges of the formation, never from the middle. This also applies to Flagships but it is not readily observable unless there are 3 or 4 Flagships present.

* A 'swarm' is triggered by either of 2 criterion :

1. The total number of enemies in formation is 3 or less.

2. The total number of blue and purple s in formation is zero. This can occur when there are many Flagships and red s still present in formation.

* When the 'swarm' starts, enemies that begin an attack do not return to formation : they keep attacking. Once started, a 'swarm' can only be ended by killing all of the enemies and/or letting them escape, or by the Galaxip getting hit. 

* Before the 'swarm' starts, enemies that attack, which are not killed, return to the formation. Since these enemies were on the edge of the formation and able to attack once, they are very likely to attack again soon.

* When not in 'swarm', a maximum of 4 regular enemies can attack at any one time.

* Flagships and convoys can attack at any time as long as another convoy attack is not already commencing; only one convoy attack can happen at a time.

* A Flagship will always create a convoy with the maximum number of red escorts available to it, unless the 'swarm' has started.

* The Flagships 'capture' up to 3 red escorts while they are in formation : Whenever there is a Flagship in formation directly above an escort or above it to one side, that escort is captured and cannot attack on its own. This capture effect ends when a 'swarm' begins.

* The Flagships can escape from the battle only if all three red escorts under their place in the formation have been killed. Flagships that escape will appear on the next attack wave, up to a maximum of 4 Flagships at the start of any wave.

* When an attacking Flagship is killed, all enemies stop firing for a short period of time. If this kill occurs before the 'swarm', there will also be no new attacks from the formation during this period. These benefits never occur for killing a Flagship that is in formation.

* The flags which count the rounds show a maximum of round 48; rounds 48 and up are shown as round 48. However if round 256 is achieved, the flags start to roll over, but with some graphical glitches; the flags that were showing round 48 begin to get overwritten, one at a time. This results in the big 10-flags being cut in half by the regular flags which start to appear, until all 4 of the 10-flags are replaced by small ones. 16 single flags show during rounds 256+8 and 256+9 (rounds 264 and 265). The glitch ends at round 256+10 (266), which shows a single 10 flag.

* After wave 1, it is possible to kill any one enemy, even a Flagship, in a brand new formation by shooting at just the right time and place before the formation teleports in at the start of a new round.

* The s that come down in a smooth pattern are the easiest to kill plus their shots are easy to avoid. The hard ones to kill (usually the purple s) are the ones where the 'bounces' from side-to-side dropping shots since those shots cover a very large area.

* The corners can be a death trap. When the s come down firing, their shots do not come straight down but they angle toward the direction that the is traveling. In addition, the s have a tendency to 'charge' into the corners. You get the points if a rams your Galaxip but you also lose your Galaxip in the process.

* The Flagships are the big points in the game. Try to avoid shooting the red s since they act as escorts for the Flagship. Wait until a Flagship comes down with two escorts. If you can't get aligned to take all three out quickly, let them pass. If you do get a good angle on them, you will have to fire quickly to pick off the two escorts first, then the Flagship. If you hit the Flagship first, you get significantly less points.

* Do not stop moving. If you do, you will be caught in a crossfire. The s tend to leave small areas of safety open between their shots. Also, make sure you are constantly hitting their formation to reduce their numbers (again, don't kill off the red ones).

* As you progress into the higher waves, the s tend to move quicker, fly more erratic patterns, and 'gang up' on your Galaxip. Plan accordingly for this.
