shakedown 1979

Oh Billy.... Ok, so here we are 1979. Just a year after the monochromatic Space Invaders (I have a Spice Girl b-side called Spice Invaders from the Spice Up Your Life single, which isn't so much a b-side so much as the spicy gals saying random rubbish and being "cheeky" over a generic studio beat, but I digress), so yeah a year after S.I. comes the first fully color RGB game called Galaxian.

You're killing all these space bugs like in the hit film Starship Troupers except without Denise Richards. I love it when she wears glasses and is "smart". The sequel, Galaga, comes along a couple years later and has that feature where you can double your fire power. The first time I played Galaga I didn't know you had to have ships on reserve and after my ship got sucked up it was game over and that sucked so much ass.
