The Galaxian hardware was a popular arcade system board developed by Namco in the late 1970s. It powered several classic arcade games. Here is a list of games that used the Galaxian hardware:

Moon Cresta (1980) - This game added a unique feature to the Galaxian hardware, allowing players to dock their spaceships to form a more powerful ship. It also introduced multiple stages and boss battles.

The End (1980) - A shooter game where players defend a planet against waves of enemy ships. It featured a distinct energy-based gameplay mechanic.

Stratovox (1980) - A vertical shooter game with speech synthesis. Players control a spaceship and must destroy enemy ships while defending their base.

Jump Bug (1981) - A platform game where players control a bug-like creature that can jump on platforms and shoot at enemies. It added a unique twist to the Galaxian hardware's capabilities.

King & Balloon (1981) - A fixed shooter game with a tower defense element. Players protect a castle from enemy balloons using cannons.

War of the Bugs (1981) - Similar to Jump Bug, this game featured platforming elements where players control a bug and must navigate levels while shooting enemies.
