Description from the packaging.

Blast the Galaxian invasion out of the sky.

The thrill of the arcade game.
You feel that spine-tingling exhilaration every time you play Galaxian in an arcade. Now the same sensation is your at home. Wave after wave of Drones, Emissaries, Hornets and Commanders come winging in from deep space. Skillfully, you slide your ship right and left with your joystick, dodging their fire and blasting them out of the universe.

The world's most popular video games can be yours to play at home, now that Atari makes them for the IBM PC. And the possibilities don't stop there. More compatible software will be available soon from Atarisoft, including educational management and productivity programs.

Atari currently offers the following games on IBM PC computers: Joust, Jungle Hunt, Moon Patrol, Pole Position, Ms. Pac-Man, Battlezone, and Galaxian. And there's much more to come!
