GALAXY II - Tabletop 1981 by Schuco

GALAXY II - Tabletop 1981 by Schucotronic (Germany) was also build by Unimex (USA), Grandstand (UK) and Epoch (Japan) - sometimes called ASTRO WARS. A classic tabletop clone of galaxian. This one sold very well, and was exported from Japan to all corners of the globe. It plays a great version of galaxian, and has nice hardware design. Multi-color VFD display.

The Unimex Galaxy II Tabletop is the homeversion of one of the mostplayed Arcadegames of that time. Virtual aliens are flying toward the spaceship of the player in different waves. The player can be move to the left and right and of course shoot the aliens.

The Graphic is build with colored VFD´s. The 1-Channel Sound is nearly identical to the Galaxy II Arcade Machine. A very good game. It was never released a game called Galaxy or Galaxy 1.

(1981, VFD, 4 C Batteries or adapter)

Great game!! I got this on Christmas of 1981. I still have it, and it still works like new!

I had this game. I played it like crazy as a kid. This is the first time I've seen it played in....maybe 25 years? Thank You for posting this!

I love these old hand held/table top games. I can't really afford to collect them, so I collect & play emulators of them. It's not as good/cool as the real thing, but it's the next best thing.

Pretty neat design actually.

Wow that actually doesn't look bad at all for an LCD game. I grew up with those horrible tiger electronic things from hell.

My brother had this but it was known as Astro Wars. What is the official name of the game, Galaxy II or Astro Wars?
