Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Galaxian Arcade 100k in 27 waves
This is not really a speedrun. If it was, I would have had all the 800 that I can get.
I am just having fun with the game by testing the limits of the hit boxes.
This game was the game that introduced me to arcade games in 1980, so I have fond memories of playing it. I remember going over 100k a few times.

![[TAS] Aztarac Arcade 7 waves (227,100) (2/3)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zhKZ-dfdOls/mqdefault.jpg "[TAS] Aztarac Arcade 7 waves (227,100) (2/3)
Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Aztarac arcade 7 waves (227,100) (2/3)
Goal of this TAS:
-Reach the end: 7 waves only (see below)
Settings:
Average Play Time: 2 Minutes see notes
Difficulty Level Tracking: Automatic
Free Game In Sagittarius: Yes
Notes:
-Because of the Average Play Time set at 2 minutes, the game only let you play 7 waves instead of the 12 available. (look for my video 3/3 to see the 12 waves coming soon )
Update: It seems that when you are able to keep all 4 bases at the end of a wave, you are rewarded by skipping a level. Average play time seems to have nothing to do with it.
-This video show (at last :)) the proper use of the radar. This is missing from many videos on YouTube.
-On my next video I will show you the 12 waves.
Waves shown in this video (as listed in the Owner Manual)
1-Capricorn (4 formations)
3-Pisces (5 formations)
5-Taurus (6 formations)
7-Cancer (6 formations)
9-Virgo (8 formations)
11-Scorpio (9 formations)
12-Sagittarius (6 formations)
