I just deleted bosconian and galaga '84 from the sequel list.

Galaga '84 was a simple graphics hack for Galaga, not an actualy release, and although bosconian hardware is similar to galaga, the gameplay is comepletely different.

[edit] Galaxian series

Where is the Galaxian series info kept ? The games "Cosmo Gang the Video" and "Cosmo Gang the Puzzle" are not part of the Galaxian series and should be removed from the list. The only games which should be in the series list are Galaxian, Galaga, Gaplus and Galaga '88.

[edit] Actual date

If any knows the exact date when the game hits arcade centers -- I would to like know!!! Please write me back ASAP!!! --WIKISCRIPPS2K6 WED MAY 10 2006 1:41 AM EDT

[edit] First color status

Just corrected the "First color game" tag. That honor actually belongs to Indy 800 (Kee Games/Atari 1975), a massive 8 player driving video game that used a special color RGB monitor. --Marty Goldberg 20:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Main image deletion - annoyed

I just noticed that somewhere along the way, the main image for this article was deleted due to lack of Fair Use rationale. Anyone know of a way to ask the admins to UNDELETE an image so that fair-use rationale can be provided? It seems unfair to nominate and then delete an image for lack of fair-use rationale when the only person notified is the person who originally uploaded the image (who very well may no longer access Wikipedia at all). C'mon, admins, you ought to be a little more flexible about this than that. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In Popular Culture

Following guidelines that were mentioned in Talk:PONG, I think it's appropriate to mention this here as well. The "In Popular Culture" section should be limited to notable references only, since there may be many trivial appearances of a Galaxian machine or references to the game in any number of pop-culture places. Basically, a notable reference is one where Galaxian (either the machine or the game as a whole) plays an integral part in the plot of a movie, TV show, comic, etc. - for instance, if part of the plot centers around a Galaxian tournament or a character gets sucked into a Galaxian machine, or something like that. Just having the machine show up on the set doesn't necessarily make it a noteworthy reference.

Discussion is welcome. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
