Title
Galaxian on the 2600 offers something that many other attempts on the console miss: speed. The game is simple, sure, but set at a fast speed. Your speed and shots move at a decent clip, and this game plays by the 'only one shot on screen at a time.' Enemy fall speeds are equally fast, making for fun, fast, and simple game. I find it to be a lot more rewarding than many of its Atari contemporaries, it's got an addictive and aggressive nature. The graphics work well, though the black background could do with a change up now and then. The audio does the game decent service, but nothing outstanding. Here, it's the fast gameplay that makes Galaxian a game to check out for your Atari 2600.
