As it turns out, in "The Avengers"... it was the MSX port of Galaga. (I'm sure some of you never heard of the MSX)

... and they copied a YouTube video at that.

As I'm sure you guessed, I knew all along it wasn't the real Galaga and I could tell it was gonna be some weird port. Hadn't figured on the YouTube copying.

The YouTube video is, of course, probably from an emulator, but I'm not sure.

Thanks to hap for the head's up. 😁
