I've been trying to find this game I played back when I was a kid.I happened to see it being played in a movie and managed to get a screenshot.
Hint:Its not Space Invaders or Galaxian,at least not the version of Galaxian I happen to have Galaxian 1983 by Atari.
Maybe a description might help.There are a bunch of spaceships you have to shoot down as seen in the screenshot.Do they shoot back? I don't know for sure but one thing I remember is that there is this one ship that scans the screen horizontally and inches closer and closer to us.As the number of ships destroyed increases,so does its scanning speed.The only way(I think) to escape from crashing into it is moving a step up when it scans the last line which we are in and then moving back down again.I think this is important in that in Galaxian you could only move left/right and not up/down,
Hope that Helps.Thanks
