Retro365 | Super Galaxy Wars - Star Craft, 1980 - Apple II (4K) @Retro365 | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
A short presentation of Super Galaxy Wars, published by Japanese Star Craft, Inc. for the Apple II in the autumn of 1980.
Super Galaxy Wars was published on cassette for the Apple II in 1980 by Tokyo-based Star Craft and is a clone of Universal's 1979 coin-op video arcade game Galaxy Wars. As the coin-op had a vertically placed screen, this version was put on its side to give the same aspect ratio playfield.
Super Galaxy Wars was picked up by Brøderbund and released as Galaxy Wars on cassette and floppy (with a horizontal playfield.)
