Sharp X68000[edit]

Japan Sharp X68000 cover art.

Developed by Dempa Micom-Soft and published by Namco for Japan in 1988. As with the majority of ports to the X68000, this version is extremely similar to the original arcade version. However, it does contain a number of arranged bonus stages which draw upon other characters from older Namco titles, such as Pac-Man, Rally-X, Dig Dug, Mappy, and Xevious, as well as previous titles in the Galaxian/Galaga series. These arranged bonus stages were complimented by background music remixed from their respective games.
