I never understood why people liked Galaxian, but watching your gameplay has taught me the appeal of the game. It's an endurance gauntlet of precision shooting. It's a space sniper game. I get it now, and I get why this game is beautiful. Thank you for learning so much about this game and sharing it with the world.
Thanks for your comments. I think the majority of people prefer the double fire of Galaga, but I've always preferred the single-shot precision that's required here. Also, there's quite a bit more variety in Galaga, but the purity of gameplay in Galaxian appeals to me more.
A beginner can get through the first several stages of Galaga pretty easily. Not so with Galaxian. I had to play it for a half hour to clear first stage.
Incredible. I've only just seen this now. I played Galaxian avidly in the arcades growing up. At the time Perry Rodgers in the US had the world record, just in the high 300k region if I remember correctly. I considered myself decent at it with two scores over 330k, and many over 250k. Your achievement is in a different league. Hats off to you!
My high score was always in the 300k. One time I made it to 300k on the first man/ship! Yuppers. Hats off to u sir. You are also a great galaxian defender. Keep playing😀🤾
My alll time favourite game. Lived in Margate from 82'till 83'. I held the record at Space city arcade. Somewhere around 150'000. Great game play BTW.👍
Mighty fancy shootin' there partner, no doubt. "Galaxian" is one of the games that I can remember the first time I saw it and played it at Ocean City Md. Boardwalk arcade. Galaxian was in a class by itself and the RGB color graphics looked...amazing.
En el salón recreativo donde yo iba de chaval avía un tipo que aguantaba un montón de banderas hasta que llegaba a la grande y lo conseguía con una sola moneda hasta que el dueño del salón que creo era el dueño también de las maquinas se debió de mosquear y le subió el nivel de dificultad a la placa y termino la racha de aquel jugador de primera creo que corría el año 1984 . Yo en unas de mis arcades tengo la original del fabricante Español petaco ya desaparecido llamada zero time y no logro pasar la quinta o la sesta pantalla de todos modos el de este vídeo es un jugador de primera con unos reflejos endiablados un saludo desde España.
Wow!! What a score, amazing. Love Galaxian, one of my favorite arcade classic video games, have an original cabinet. Always amazed at players that can go several hours for one game. About an hour, or two max, is the longest I can play any arcade classic. I managed a little over 100,000 a couple of times on Galaxian. But watching you play, I see my strategy is similar. So I think I could pull off a 500,000 with a little more practice.
Thanks! 40K is a pretty good score. Anyone who can get to the 1st big 10 flag (~37K) is starting to understand the game mechanics well. It's just practice from there...
(scans through video quickly) For a 7 1/2 hour video with the camera next to a window, I kept expecting night to fall at some point in the recording. :P
In the arcades back in the '80's, I played this religiously. This is one of the greatest space shoot 'em ups of all time. Galaxian will always hold a special place in my arcade playing life.
@@CharlieFar First million-point rollover of the score 3:38:41; Second million-point rollover 7:19:38 (score only has room for six digits, last digit is always "0", highest value it can show is "999990")
This is amazing work @charliefar , it's kinda hypnotic with your movements and shot accuracy. I'm about 10 mins in now and I'm feeling sleepy at 61k ....how did u keep going lol. Congratulations on the achievement it's brilliant - Taggsta.
1:25:03 What a predictive shot. Guys a Pro. I got people annoyed waiting to have a go behind me back in the day in the pub. They used to hate me coming in
Thanks! I have a really vivid memory of playing one game of this when I was young. Never really played the arcade version again until MAME. Now I play the original cab occasionally at Arcade Club in Bury, UK. Still a great game.
You are definitely awesome...I used to know a guy named Glenn Dean (GDD), whose high score in the day was ~650,000... this was in the SF Bay Area .. Have you played Super Galaxians? There used to be a version of this where a solid seven wave with a yellow ship would swing across (some off the screen and then back on) the entire screen every so often like a hairpin turn....it is craziness... there's a video of this, but the machine I remember playing was even more extreme with the swings ..
Yeah I love my cab (New Astro City - Sega). I think games look great even on such a large screen. CRT displays are much more forgiving on low pixel count than razor sharp modern ones.
Well done How long have you been playing this to get to this level my highest score is 371k started playing again after Garys high score in 08 so frustrating but it’s in my DNA
Cheers! Started playing the game regularly in November '14, so the record took 18 months in total. This was a couple of games once a week at Arcade Club. I would say serious attempts at the record didn't really happen until Feb '16 when I bought the PCB for my cab. 371k puts you in the top 5!
Good job. I used to work in an arcade in the late 80's early 90's and had an upright Moon Patrol. the longest I ever played a single game though was Black Ops Zombies. After 6 or 7 hours the time suck really becomes apparent.
How did you sleep the night after? I'm curious about needed phisical and mental resistance. That must be really though not losing concentration and fight the phisical distress and fatigue. Hats off, Sir!
Galaxian doesn't have much down time, so playing for hours does get pretty draining. This game ended late at night and I did find sleeping difficult. Made up for it the night after though.
Approx 2:23:50 The Galaxian performs the old fly sideways baiting the Galaxip into running into it at the bottom of the screen by the huge flag while distracted by death from above ploy. From the camera angle it looked like the ship exploded prior to the Galaxian hitting it. It was like I was playing along with you. One of my favorite arcade games. My aunt had one in her bar we'd play at Xmas along with Frogger. My uncle liked to wait for the Galaxians to get as low as possible to pick them off. I can't recall what his scores were. When I used to play MacMAME along time ago at one point when they updated the ROM, the emulated audio made the wrong SFX when your ship was destroyed which sort of takes the fun out of it in a way. The last authentic arcade game I've played was Donkey Kong in remarkable shape at an amusement park's main arcade which was hot and humid. HI Score was over 100k points but a typical game was 75k which is a satisfying score in a venue like that. They auctioned off all of their classic arcade games and pinball machines some of those were rare when they put in redemption tickets for prizes style games. Although that includes a giant Pac-Man and Space Invaders. What's your HI Score on an authentic Galaxian machine in an arcade for the purists' out there? And what score do you think you could have achieved if you kept playing here?
Hey thanks for the comments. I really like background stories around arcades. I’ve never tried to beat this score at an arcade but have several times scored more than a million on an original cab.
@@CharlieFar How much different does the joystick feel between this and an authentic cabinet? It's interesting how I can play some games on Mac MAME better with an extended keyboard that has the arrow keys next to each other like a laptop but they're really large. I have a hard time playing multicades for that very reason especially with so many buttons in the way or if it has fighter game style joysticks. That amuseement park arcade had to put a Nintendo Donkey Kong stick on Zaxxon lol which made it easier to play imho I was good at Zaxxon anyhow. Amazing what a combo of ColecoVision and MacMAME can do for practice for the real arcade game even though as I mention the 'controls' are completely different you still get a confident feel for the game.
@@CharlieFar yeah that's what I was thinking you can't walk away from it since it doesn't have extra lives. I still have a hand held Entex Electronics Galaxian2 (2 meaning one player can control the Galaxians head=to-head football style). It has a mute button so you could play it at night however you cans till hear the button smashing lol It uses 4 'C' batteries but has a wonderful feel to it.
@@amusement420 I was using a 4 way restrictor on my stick so it doesn’t really feel that different to the arcade cab. Having said that, there are 3 types of controls available on Galaxian cabs. A 2way stick (closest to what I used), left/right buttons, and a paddle like control that you turned which was on some cocktail cabs.
Played it in the early 80s & play it on my laptop now. It looks easier though as the proper screen is portrait way up, as opposed to a pc which is landscape... the aliens are much closer and you have less time to kill them.
I only played it a handful of times growing up, but have really fond memories of it. Aside from MAME, I didn't really get to play it properly on a cab until 2014. Timeless classic.
Great High Score! Just oooooooone small thing I'm nitpicky about (sorry). Namco has given their "Galaxian series" games along with others like Baraduke and Dig Dug a story. It's all called the United Galaxy Space Force series. ugsf-series.com/en/
now this was something ive always wondered... what kind of arcade cabinet is that? ive never seen an arcade cabinet that looks like that... its looks kinda odd... but I also think it looks cool! so... could anyone show or tell me what kind of arcade cabinet that is? ive been trying to find one that looks like it and I just cant find it... :(
To guy in video. Msme seems to be same thing as arcade version Galaxian. So I can get around same score as on msmr as on arcade version. So. Just kee practing ms.e gslaxian version right ? Also. Being g thst it takes 7 hours and something. How often do you practice when not playing for 7 hours ? How many hours you stop at ? And what other games are you efficient at ?😅
I have an original Galaxian machine at home. Just curious, what is your high score on a vintage machine? Are you sitting down while playing for this world record? I can imagine that would be a great advantage while playing for 7 hours. Congratulations!!!
I play on an original Galaxian quite regularly in an arcade close to me. I've managed 1 million+ scores on a number of occasions there. There's a video on my channel that shows the safe spot trick with my score over a million and a ship in reserve on an original Galaxian. I sacked the game at that point. I don't really see that sitting down offers an advantage. Many players sit on a stool playing original classic cabs when they are playing for any length of time. Cool that you have a Galaxian cab!
Played this for the first time, I _think,_ last Tuesday. I don't think I ever gave it a shot as a kid because it was "too old" (it's a year younger than me lol). Turns out I really like it. Dropped a whole lot of quarters that day, my best score was just under 12,000. I've got a Sega NAC just like this, maybe I should pick up a board...
To guy who gets 2 million on galaxian. How much pràctice did it take ? How many months ? And what other games are you good at ? Also, is game you played on TH-cam mame with bunch of. games ? Or ?
I started playing the original Galaxian arcade cab regularly in October 2014, maybe 2-3 games every Saturday evening at a local arcade. This continued for maybe 15 months or so. So not really that many hours in total. I bought an original Galaxian board in February 2016 (the one I played in this video) and decided it was time to attempt the record as my PB was 1.3 million. The record at the time was held by Aart Van Vliet with 1.65 million points. With the PCB, I was then able to practise more regularly - probably averaging 3-4 practise sessions a week. This included streaming some of my attempts to Twitch as well. The game here was performed in May 2016, So to answer your question - it took about 15 months of casual playing, with intense practise only in the last 3 months.
Didn't see the other question. I love lots of other game modern and old, though I'm mainly drawn to the golden age classics. I'm quite good at some of them but bad to average with the rest. My favourites include Donkey Kong, Centipede, Galaga, Bump 'n Jump, Qbert, Berzerk, Arkanoid...
Hi I remember this game when I was 17. I got banned from playing it in the pub as I could be on for a couple of hours all for the just 10 pence. If i remember correctly my record was around 450k, used to take me around 2 hours. No wonder the pub landlord banned me!!. Where can i buy a machine like this, would like to see if i could get anywhere near my old record?
A good place to start would be to join a few arcade forums. Learn a little bit about them so you can make an informed purchase. The Arcade Otaku forum specialises in these types of cab (Candy Cabs). UKVAC is a great community of arcade collectors, restorers and players. Good luck on your record.
Thanks. I've been playing on and off for the past 2 years roughly. At first, only a few games once a week at a classic arcade that I'm very fortunate to live local to. In February 2016 I bought my own Galaxian pcb for my cab to seriously take up the challenge. The record was performed in May live on Twitch.

@TheSissyFace yea that's kinda why I like it so much cus how much harder it is
Reason it was so popular back in the day is simple - was one of the first FULL-COLOR! games to see wide-spread distribution.
10 seconds into your run, it is obvious you are as close to perfect as I could imagine anyone being on Galaxian. Very nicely done.
Amazing. Over 7h killing aliens. Your are a real earth defender :-) Great job!!

Thanks! You're definitely in the top league of Galaxian players with scores above 300K

I love how the time of day can be seen changing on the left.
Dude, you are a MASTER at this vintage arcade, simply put. Well done.
Used to play this in the pub in York UK. We were all terrible at it - I still am. Amazing to see someone this good on it.
See there are legends we know so little of. Never did I imagine someone be able to wreck this game as you have. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for watching! Hope there’s some tips for you and others in my playthrough
My alll time favourite game.
Lived in Margate from 82'till 83'. I held the record at Space city arcade. Somewhere around 150'000.
Great game play BTW.👍

great to see relaxed accuracy.
top score.

For a 7 1/2 hour video with the camera next to a window, I kept expecting night to fall at some point in the recording. :P
It does go dark during the recording (about 2:30:00). I had a light on from the start of the attempt to maintain consistent lighting.
It appears night fell around 3.5 hours
Insane skills David!
Cheers Alan!
you are a god. that is the only explanation

Thanks! It's a great cab to play on.
Galaxian, Pac Man and Star Castle is about as old as the come.

Damn, that was wicked cool. Like a pool trick shot!
what an impressive score I aways liked those cabinets how do the older games look on such a big monitor 👾👾👾

Not sure what I could’ve scored. It was getting very tiring after 7 hours. You don’t get any break at al in Galaxian, and you get only 4 lives too.

dev1: do you think we should make the score display more than 1 million points
dev2: nah, no one will make more than 1 million points
Galaxian's quite generous with its 6 digits score display. Asteroids loops at 99,990 and Space Invaders just 9,990!
Great skills! Don't think I ever managed 10 flags! One of my all time favourite games (I'm nearly 50 so remember this first time round)
Cheers! One of my favourites too if you haven't guessed.
very impressive as most players can just survive a hand full of levels.
great shot accuracy and anticipation of enemy movement
Thanks! Making every shot count is the key to playing Galaxian well. That, and not dying...
I love this game..my best score is about 470 000 on arcade cabinet..but your score is really insane :-D greetings from Czech Republic
Hi wesker. Galaxian is a fantastic game. No story, no cut-scenes; just pure shooting. Perfect!
I love this game looooong time :) from my childhood..its almost 35 years ago...when i saw this for the first time..
I only played it a handful of times growing up, but have really fond memories of it. Aside from MAME, I didn't really get to play it properly on a cab until 2014. Timeless classic.

It’s a Sega New Astro City cabinet. There are many different models and makes of this style of cab - they’re collectively called candy cabs.
@@CharlieFar oooh ok! thanks man! :)
By time I’ve flown from uk to New York the game be finish 👍
That's one way to look at it!
I'm surprised that this game is really infinite unlike games that glitch after a certain number of levels
Galaga is like that on certain difficulties.
What kind of set up is this? Pretty clean.

Excellent! Total admiration! 26667 destroyed aliens. My best score: 248460
That's a stat I didn't bother to work out! Thanks.
My new records : 357700. Youpi!!!!
Nice stuff
You're very good at galaxian
How many aliens did you kill total.
No one's asked that I don't think! 556 waves x 46 enemies (per wave) = 25,576 + 25 on last wave = 25,601.
Great Master of Galaxian 🏆👏👏👏
Thanks Yaztromo!
I have an original Galaxian machine at home. Just curious, what is your high score on a vintage machine? Are you sitting down while playing for this world record? I can imagine that would be a great advantage while playing for 7 hours. Congratulations!!!
I play on an original Galaxian quite regularly in an arcade close to me. I've managed 1 million+ scores on a number of occasions there. There's a video on my channel that shows the safe spot trick with my score over a million and a ship in reserve on an original Galaxian. I sacked the game at that point. I don't really see that sitting down offers an advantage. Many players sit on a stool playing original classic cabs when they are playing for any length of time. Cool that you have a Galaxian cab!
Jeezzzusss...over one million on a vintage cab. You are a god.
I'll never get that 7 hours and 38 minutes back.
Me neither :)
Yes, you'll never get it back. The question here then becomes, what are you getting in return for that investment of your time?
If only Billy Mitchell recorded like how u did 😂🤣😙😗😘😍😚🤗
Great skill man respect
This is more entertaining then Superb Owl. Anyday.
Amazing game play.
Basically you can play this forever on one coin. It's just how long you can resist sitting in the same spot.
Played this for the first time, I _think,_ last Tuesday. I don't think I ever gave it a shot as a kid because it was "too old" (it's a year younger than me lol). Turns out I really like it. Dropped a whole lot of quarters that day, my best score was just under 12,000.
I've got a Sega NAC just like this, maybe I should pick up a board...
Boards aren't too difficult to find and not ridiculously expensive. 12,000 is a good start. Practice makes perfect.
wow , amazing. is there any other games you are this good at ? like Galaga or Phoenix for example.
mastery 🎩
I'm over here tryna beat 20k 😭😭😭😭
Keep practising and have fun!
Same!
To guy who gets 2 million on galaxian. How much pràctice did it take ? How many months ? And what other games are you good at ? Also, is game you played on TH-cam mame with bunch of. games ? Or ?
I started playing the original Galaxian arcade cab regularly in October 2014, maybe 2-3 games every Saturday evening at a local arcade. This continued for maybe 15 months or so. So not really that many hours in total. I bought an original Galaxian board in February 2016 (the one I played in this video) and decided it was time to attempt the record as my PB was 1.3 million. The record at the time was held by Aart Van Vliet with 1.65 million points. With the PCB, I was then able to practise more regularly - probably averaging 3-4 practise sessions a week. This included streaming some of my attempts to Twitch as well. The game here was performed in May 2016, So to answer your question - it took about 15 months of casual playing, with intense practise only in the last 3 months.
I have it on name.
I really don't see much difference on it. So what other games ar3 you efficient in ? What city state are you in ?
Didn't see the other question. I love lots of other game modern and old, though I'm mainly drawn to the golden age classics. I'm quite good at some of them but bad to average with the rest. My favourites include Donkey Kong, Centipede, Galaga, Bump 'n Jump, Qbert, Berzerk, Arkanoid...

Hi I remember this game when I was 17. I got banned from playing it in the pub as I could be on for a couple of hours all for the just 10 pence. If i remember correctly my record was around 450k, used to take me around 2 hours. No wonder the pub landlord banned me!!. Where can i buy a machine like this, would like to see if i could get anywhere near my old record?
If you're in the UK then look at Home Leisure Direct!
A good place to start would be to join a few arcade forums. Learn a little bit about them so you can make an informed purchase. The Arcade Otaku forum specialises in these types of cab (Candy Cabs). UKVAC is a great community of arcade collectors, restorers and players. Good luck on your record.

Incredible score!
Thanks!
Fantastic! How long did you train for this amazing performance?
Thanks. I've been playing on and off for the past 2 years roughly. At first, only a few games once a week at a classic arcade that I'm very fortunate to live local to. In February 2016 I bought my own Galaxian pcb for my cab to seriously take up the challenge. The record was performed in May live on Twitch.
unbelievable!!
Cheers! :)
That's pretty amazing!
Thanks!
how can one's aim be this good?
Practise, practise, practise.
maaaaannn.. go get some rest. respect
this is insane !
Haha! Thanks, I think...
It's a shame this is only 480p.
INSANE CONGRATZ SeemsGood
U still have ur right hand? Kappa
Thanks! Yeah, just about fully recovered now...
Well done fella 👍🏻
Thanks!
There is no kill screen in Galaxian ? Heard there was and saw.
No killscreen, even after 556 waves. You might be thinking of Galaga which does on certain settings.
Heard galaga has kill screen if set on easy settings. If on hardest settings does galaga still have a kill screen ?
@@cooler1854 That's right. You have to play on hardest setting to play past the 255th stage.
Sorry, that reads a little unclear. Galaga on hardeat setting doesn't have a kill screen.
