Which Game is this?

[RaNeN]

Here is a snap shot of a game. I remember playing it around 8-9 years ago.
I used to love this then....just feel like playing it again!
Does anybody know the name of this game? Where could I download it from?

Thanx!

RaNeN,

I believe that's Galaxians, but I may be wrong

Yes im pretty sure it is Galaxians. I used to like that one too, when it was in the arcades many years ago.

You can probably get it for thoise emulator things (if you manage to get them working - i never have)

If anyone finds a decent version thats easy to get working please post, as i would like to know too.

Whats an emulator? Wont it work without it?

[elvaago]

its a pc program that makes a pc emulate another platform or console - eg Atari or commodore 64 etc

Old games like this are available for these emulators. But personally i havent found it easy to get them working.

They are not easy to find on non-emulator platforms.

Yeah it is Galaxians, it is also available as a 'secret' game on the original Tekken for the PS1.

Ahh, happy days!

just found this

http://www.gamegarage.co.uk/arcade-games/galaxians/

although its a very poor version of the original unfortunately

[RaNeN]

I cant play it. I downloaded it from the site April gave. It open the command promt and then closes immediately....and then nothing.....help?

[April madness]

because you can't run DOS programs in win XP. try to install DOSBox first - it's a dos emulator for windows. download DOSBox here

i havent tried April's link yet as i am on a work pc all day. It may need to be played through an emulator.

With the link i gave you can just simply play it online at once.

[RaNeN]

yea....i tried....but its not as good as the real one!

From Dosgames....where do I download it from? Which section would it be under? I tried searching for it but in vain.

[April madness]

Ranen, I gave you link to that DOS emulator for Windows - try it, it really works. you can read FAQ, there is quite a good description about installation and how to run it and you can use it for other DOS games too

[RaNeN]

Oops....Sorry. I didnt see the Emulator link. I only saw the game link. I will give it a try now.
I dont understand how to install and use the emulator. ...help?
