23.10.2021 - New C64 game 'Galaxian DX' released as free digital download
After finishing Galaga, Arlasoft intended to work on Robotron 2064 and Funfair Inc, however a post on the C64 Facebook group about Galaxian got him thinking whether it would be easy to convert Galaga to play like its older brother and improve on the existing, jerky character-based Atarisoft port. The enemy movement is very different to Galaga. They have smooth sweeping movements that gradually change speed and direction, and are slightly different with each attack. The only way to reproduce this authentically was to port the arcade code for enemy movements and timings directly.
