Galaxy II

Overview

Galaxy II / Astro Wars was a shoot 'em up, with play involving four phases of dodging enemy missiles and firing back at the squadrons of alien command ships, warships and attacking fighters, as well as a docking challenge for additional bonus points.

Astro Wars (specifically) was made in Great Britain in 1981 by Grandstand Liesure under license from Epoch Co., who sold the game in Japan under the title Super Galaxian (スーパーギャラクシアン). There were two versions of Astro Wars - an earlier version had the Astro Wars motif printed in red and a later version printed in white.
