CHAMP Galaxia is a DOS shareware remake of Namco's classic 1980 Galaxian arcade shooter. Like the other games in CHAMProgramming's series of arcade remakes, it is remarkable for closely emulating the original, the smooth gameplay and two game modes, the original "Classic" and the enhanced "Champ" mode.
The "Classic" mode plays and feels like the arcade machine, with very similar graphics, sound and gameplay: You play a spaceship, moving horizontally at the bottom of the screen, and shooting up at a bunch of Space Invaders-like aliens, which attack you in waves becoming harder and harder with the game.
The "Champ" mode is an upgraded version of the classic game with new enemy types -- requiring more than one hit to destroy, or equipped with a cloaking device making them nearly invisible -- and a variety of power-ups for the player, with create an entertaining variant of the original game.
Finally, the game features a variety of options -- one or two player modes, three difficulty settings, adjustable game speed, input by keyboard, mouse or joystick (Champ even released a "Champ cable" that allowed you to play the game with digital joysticks), and a high score table to round it all off.
The description at CHAMP Games Fan Page says it all about this excellent remake of ATARI's classic arcade shooter Galaxian:
"A great version of the famous arcade classic game - CHAMP Galaxia. Based on CHAMP Galaxian, this version offers superb graphics, Soundblaster support and enhanced gameplay that truly makes you feel like you're in an arcade! A completely re-designed user interface is now easier and more powerful than before. A complete remake of the look and feel has created a truly enjoyable game.
The object of CHAMP Galaxia is to destroy the Galaxian fleet and save the earth. With each ship you destroy, you score points.
.... The Galaxian fleet attacks in waves, each one harder than the last. Flags are used to show that a wave has been destroyed. You must pilot the command ships right and left to dodge Galaxian attacks while firing back to destroy the aliens. When a Flagship is destroyed while in flight the rest of the fleet stops firing for a few seconds of mourning.
Get ready to destroy the Galaxian fleet and save the earth. Note that there are two different game modes: Classic mode plays more like the arcade game, CHAMP Mode includes the Classic Mode with more enhancements, including more patterns, shields, and different enemies!"
