Programmed by Suzuki for the Apple II, and published by Broderbund in 1980.  Originally entitled Galaxian, the name was changed to avoid a lawsuit.  An enchanced version called Alien Typhoon, released the following year, features more aliens, but also more slow down.  Generally considered better than Atarisoft's official Galaxian port.

Developed for the Bally Astrocade by programmers at Bally Midway.  Although Midway had the distribution rights to Galaxian in the arcade, they did not have the home rights to the title.  They produced this version and renamed it, although it still appears as Galaxian on the menu screen when the system is turned on.
