This is Gaplus/ギャプラス for Arcade, it is a fixed shooter arcade game which is a sequel to Galaga and Galaxian under the name Galaga 3 and the Arcade Version here is much better and like the Nec Pc-9801 Version it is the same in the game you are defeating successive waves of enemies in Parsecs and in its core gameplay is very similar to Galaxian and Galaga with enemies fly onto the screen in rows and join a formation near the top, then begin attacking the player's ship with kamikaze-like dives but when looking at the pattern of when they will shoot projectiles, the ship can move left and right, as well as vertically. Bonus lives are earned at certain score intervals and can also be gained by collecting ship parts dropped by some enemies, as well as collecting Rally-X bonus flags from shooting stars, and once again you die in the game by one hit just like every other space shooter from the 80s, but I still consider both of them along with the Famicom Version really good versions to play also this game along with Phozon is the first and only game to use the Namco Phozon Hardware to start the game up which would explain why the title screen looks very reminiscent of Phozon Title Screen and the gameplay mechanics of shooting is used.
