Fantastic video man, you truly take your time and really make some of the most high quality game videos I've ever seen.

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned that the Galaxian Flagship (Yellow Alien) has made many cameo appearances in other NAMCO games such as PAC-MAN, GALAGA, and many more!
Great video Stuart!

It looks like Galaga Legends DX is almost at danmaku levels of "stuff flying at you"
