Galaxians

Galaxians for the Exidy Sorcerer

Galaxians is a fixed-screen shooter and is a clone of the similarly named arcade game Galaxian. In Galaxians, the goal is to earn points by shooting all of the alien invaders. The player controls a spaceship which can move horizontally across the bottom of the screen as well as fire lasers for destroying the aliens. The aliens appear at the top of the screen in formation and continuously move back and forth while firing missiles at the player; from time to time, one of the aliens will also swoop down in an attempt to crash into the player. Being hit by a missile or crashing into an alien will cost the player a life, and the game ends when all three lives have been lost. If players destroy all aliens on the screen, the game repeats.
