Galaxian/Galaga series – Cane and Rinse No.388

“MISSION: DESTROY ALIENS”  October 1979 saw Namco's brash, dynamic and eye-scorchingly colourful Space Invaders spiritual successor landed with a loud bang in arcades. Leon, Michiel and guest Dan Clark recall the thrill of swooping alien robo-moths and - tracing the Galaxian series along - the power-fantasy fulfilment of double ship and even triple ship play in Galaga and Galaga '88. Along with contributions from the community we also look at many more sequels and spin-offs, popular culture cameos and incoming cartoons from the world of Namco's enduring space blaster lineage. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_388.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1.
