    So this weekend I picked up one of those "connect to TV"-joysticks with games at a market for nothing. It was a Namco branded one and the only game I was sure was on it was Pacman.

    Apart from Pac-man I was kind of hoping for Galaga... but of cause it turned out it had Galaxian.

    Galaxian seems slow to me, but I'm kind of wondering if anybody prefer it over Galaga, which is why I made this poll.

    If you're unsure about which is which, I found this video where some guy goes through the main differences between the two games.
