Features & Capabilities

First there was the original Galaxy Invader (Galaxy Invader 1978). Now this sequel, also known as Cosmic Fire Away, blasts you back to the 1980's again when games were simple but very addictive. An accurate recreation of the VFD LSI game by CGL, Gakken, Tandy and other companies of that time. Fun for all ages with three difficulty levels. All those retro sounds and that vacuum fluorescent display are here. This was a classic and very popular toy back then. Now it is a rare and collectable item but YOU can own it right now! These types of machines were made by companies such as Grandstand, Tomy, Entex, CGL, Tandy, Bandai and Epoch to name but a few. *Screenshots show actual app in action and original artwork based on the original packaging. See how close to the real thing it is! • Accurate simulation of the classic handheld machine • Full retro sounds • 3 difficulty levels • Simple and addictive • Totally nostalgic • iCade support HOW TO PLAY

  1. Set speed control to the desired level. Slide power on/off switch to "on"
  2. Move the Missile Launch lever side by side to aim at Invader or UFO and press Missile Launch button.
  3. Game ends when you obtain 1,000 points or when all 3 Missile Launchers are destroyed or when Invader captures G-zone or when you have shot all of your 250 Missiles.
  • When you obtain 700 points, one Missile Launcher and 50 Missiles are given as a bonus.
  1. To start a new game simply switch slide to "off" and then to "on" again.
  2. If using with iCade or compatible controller, press the iCade button on top left and you can now use a joystick and red fire(5) button. NOTE: pressing this without connection to a compatible Bluetooth controller will bring up the keyboard. If this happens just press the button again to turn it off.

The original version is also available by us called "Galaxy Invader 1978"

I can’t believe someone actually created an ambulation for an actual electronic game of the 1970s/80s. Whoever you are, please oh please make more emulations of other games! I will say that the controls are a bit hard to grasp using a touchscreen, but I guess I’ll have to get a controller to fix that, however, I’m giving it five stars plus plus plus because this is exactly the kind of thing we need in this new digital age. Please let make other emulations of other games and here’s a challenge for you, if you can find an old Merlin or a master Merlin, I would just absolutely love it if you’ve made an emulation for that as well, You might want to try Simon before moving onto other games as that’s probably the easiest thing to emulate. And again, excellent I can’t say it enough very very excellent work! you should also know that I’m a person with multiple disabilities and this more than helps with managing my disabilities thank you for helping out people that have multiple disabilities. This is so needed now!

5/5 game/app. The sound, graphics, controls everything is exactly like the old handheld. I was looking at your other apps and its Amazing what you do, keep retro alive my friend👍🏻👍🏻

Same sounds, look, & game play as the original handheld. The left to right toggle takes a little getting used to playing on a phone but you’ll be a pro at it in no time
