Galaga/"Galaxians" Amiga PD Game not in HOL database
Thought I might repost the thread here & see if it gets a bit more exposure.
Was looking up some old coverdisk PD games I'd enjoyed from The One Amiga back in the day, when I happened to notice one of them doesn't have a HOL entry... https://amr.abime.net/issue_328_coverdisks As per the description from page 09, Issue June 1992,it's simply called "Galaxians", though as per its description it's more like Galaga! If I recall correctly, you could turn your ship at a 45 degree angle to shoot nearby enemies near the bottom of the screen, unlike the arcade version. It credits 17bit PD on the description as the source, but never been able to find it standalone otherwise,any thoughts/ideas? https://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_pict...ilesize=389896 |

It is in the database :-
https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/galaxy-89 They called it Galaxians in the mag & on the disk menu, but it's actually a commercial game called Galaxy 89! Last edited by ghosty777; 17 September 2023 at 17:53. |

Wow! Talk about a surprise! So much for PD! Though that they "borrowed" some of the OG Battlestar Galactica getting ready for battle tunelets (when Viper pilots were on red alert),so guess they kept its release low profile! Thanks,that solves that mystery! |
