Congratulations on your purchase of Excalibur
Electronics’ Space Invaders Galaxy Class! You
will have hours of fun playing against the com-
puter.
Space Invaders Galaxy Class is easy to use, but be sure
to use it safely. Before starting, please read this manual
thoroughly, especially noting safety, care and battery
information. Keep this manual for reference.
The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword,
Excalibur, from which we take our company name. Withthis
unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished.
Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim
the magical secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s
court wizard, sometimes our patented tech-
nology may make it seem as if we could.
Space Invaders Galaxy Class is another
unmatched innovation of Excalibur
Electronics.
We make you think.

Playing Space Invaders Galaxy Class
The object of the game is to defend our home planet against the alien menace
bent on Earth’s destruction. Endless waves of the galaxy invaders are relent-

Shelter your spaceships behind three protective barriers.
