- EPISODE 50: GALAXIAN William Pepper 33:16
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hey! Wake up. Splash some cold water on your face and drown your hangover in coffee. Then crawl feebly onto the couch to check out this first episode of 2017.
Our focus this month is Atari’s 1983 port of the legendary GALAXIAN (legendary mostly in the sense of being the forerunner of the way more popular Galaga). Like the Baby New Year, does this game fills the diaper of our souls with the promise of great things to come or a steamy pile of eight-bit poo?
Now, let’s fire up the Atari and get our galaxi-ON!

The video of that dude making me look bad by getting 99 points in Sky Diver is right here. Grrrrrrr! How I hate that guy!*
*I don’t really hate him.**
**Well, maybe a little.
