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. With this
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 tech­nology may make it seem as if we could.
Space Invaders Galaxy Class is another unmatched innovation of Excalibur Electronics.

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 relent­lessly marching toward you. You start with three spaceships to defend against the invaders. Move your spaceships to the left and right and fire at the aliens. Shelter your spaceships behind three protective barriers.

How to Play
Press the LEFT CURSOR and RIGHT CURSOR to move your spaceships to the left and right. Press the START/SHOOT button to fire at the aliens. You also have three protective barriers to seek shelter from their attack. These barriers will begin to deteriorate as the invaders shoot at them, and also if you shoot them.
If you destroy all the invaders at the first level, you will automatically advance to the next level with three new spaceships. There are a total of six levels in the game. The game is over when you have destroyed all the alien attackers in each of the six levels or if your three spaceships are destroyed by the aliens in any level.
Left and Right Screens
The game has two screens, displayed in the upper right corner by “L” for the Left Screen and “R” for the Right Screen.
Scoring
Each space invader that you destroy is worth 100 points. Each flying saucer that you annihilate is worth 400 points. When a flying saucer appears on the display, you will hear an Alert sound.

Vibration and Light Effects
You will feel the unit vibrate when your protective barriers are being hit by either you or the invaders. When one of your spacecrafts is destroyed, the unit will also vibrate.
When you destroy an invader, a light on the display will flash. The light will also flash when the game is over.
Auto Power Off
If no button is pressed for four minutes, the unit will automatically turn off in order to spare your batteries. Press the ON/OFF button to start a new game.
Space Invaders Galaxy Class may lock up
due to static discharge or other electrical disturbances.
If this should happen, use a slim, pointed object to
press the button marked “
RESET” on the front of the unit.
