Galaxian

Star Voyager

Star Voyager puts you in the pilot's seat of a space fighter, navigating a galactic map and engaging enemies from a first‑person cockpit view. The game draws heavily from the Atari Star Raiders concept, offering quadrant‑based navigation and ship‑system management. Damage to ship sections can be repaired at space stations, adding a strategic layer to the arcade action. Originally released in Japan as Cosmo Genesis in late 1986, Acclaim brought it to the U.S. under the Star Voyager title.

Galaga

Galaga puts you in control of a starfighter that slides along the bottom of the screen, blasting waves of insect‑like enemies that dive in formation. The goal is to rack up the highest score while avoiding enemy fire and the occasional tractor‑beam capture. The game adds dual‑shot firepower, a bonus Challenging Stage, and a unique capture‑and‑rescue mechanic that lets you free a captured ship for double firepower. Play solo or with friends, and watch the level counter roll over at 255 for a nostalgic glitch experience.

Space Invaders

Space Invaders is a pioneering arcade shooter released in 1978, challenging players to protect Earth by blasting descending alien formations with a laser cannon. The simple yet addictive gameplay rewards precision and timing as the alien speed increases with each wave. Now available on iOS, this timeless classic brings retro pixel graphics and high‑score competition to modern handheld devices, preserving the original feel while offering touch‑screen controls for on‑the‑go play.

Astrosmash

In Astrosmash you control a laser cannon at the bottom of the screen, firing unlimited ammo at a relentless barrage of meteors, spinning bombs, guided missiles and UFOs. Points are earned for destroying targets and lost when they slip past, with lives lost if bombs get through. The game challenges players to rack up high scores while mastering hyperspace jumps to avoid asteroid showers. Originally released in 1981 for the Intellivision, it remains a timeless single‑player shooter for modern platforms.

Demon Attack

Demon Attack puts you behind a laser cannon at the bottom of the screen, defending against endless waves of brightly colored demons that bounce in bizarre patterns. Inspired by Space Invaders, each wave challenges you with bombs, lasers, and splitting enemies that keep the action frantic. As you clear the required number of demons, you advance to tougher rounds with faster movement and more complex formations. The game offers both solo and competitive multiplayer modes, letting you chase high scores or battle friends for arcade supremacy.

Sega-Galaga

Sega-Galaga brings the iconic arcade action of Galaga to the SG-1000, letting players pilot a starship to fend off waves of alien attackers. The game retains the signature capture mechanic, allowing you to rescue a stolen ship and double your firepower for a brief advantage. While the graphics and sound are toned down to match the SG-1000’s capabilities, the core gameplay remains faithful to the original arcade experience. Note that the challenging stages are omitted, making each level a repeat of the classic pattern.
