| 5 | 5 | Galaxia by Zaccaria (1979) |
| 6 | Also released in several regions as "Super Galaxians". |
| 7 | Set regions are unknown, so all are currently Galaxia. |

| 12 | 14 | This is not a direct pirate of Galaxian as you might think from the name. |
| 13 | 15 | The game uses a Signetics 2650A CPU with three 40-pin 2636 chips, which are |
| 14 | | responsible for sound and some video functions. |
| 16 | responsible for basic sound and some video functions. |
| 15 | 17 | |
| 16 | 18 | Other than that, the video hardware looks like it's similar to Galaxian |
| 17 | 19 | (2 x 2114, 2 x 2101, 2 x EPROM) but there is no attack RAM and the graphics |

| 48 | 50 | Astro Wars (port of Astro Fighter) is on a stripped down board of Galaxia, |
| 49 | 51 | using only one 2636 chip, less RAM, and no PROM. |

| 53 | | HW has many similarities with quasar.c / cvs.c / zac2650.c |

| 55 | 59 | TODO: |
| 56 | | - fix colors, there's no color prom?! |
| 57 | | - stars background should be multi color |
| 58 | | - improve sound, maybe part discrete |
| 60 | - correct color/star generation using info from Galaxia technical manual and schematics |
| 61 | - add sound board emulation |
| 59 | 62 | - improve bullets |
| 60 | | - accurate astrowar sprite/bg sync |
| 63 | - accurate sprite/bg sync in astrowar |
| 61 | 64 | |
| 65 | NOTE: Are there unemulated waitstates? On real hardware, the speed of both |
| 66 | Astrowars and Galaxia are a bit slower, as seen in these videos: |
