Galaxian (1979 Namco)

A legendary single-screen shoot-em-up that took everything that made Space Invaders so good, and improved upon it on every level. Many Aliens are multicolored.

My favorite arcade game of all time.

@P4T9C6H8 It's in machine code for the Zilog Z80 CPU. He may have used an assembler, but not necessarily. You could also program by entering opcodes into memory. 87 (in hexadecimal) is ADD A,A, 7F is LD A,A, and so on. You can find Galaxian as a "MAME ROM" on Google, and use a Z80 disassembler to look at the code, or play it on the MAME emulator.

@P4T9C6H8 Fortran some C and Sprites overlays, not sure how many.. but the game was revolutionary at the time.. I even think there was some rogue basic running somewhere..
