The game Galaxian by Namco was released in 1979 on arcade machines in Japan and saw the light of day one year later in arcade halls across North America. A Colecovision version was finally made in 1983 and an MSX version followed one year later. The MSX port was, once again, a slightly tuned-down version of the game where some elements such as a 2 player mode and difficulty settings were not included. Recently, MSX user GDX ported the Colecovision version of the game to MSX in order to get a more complete version of the game including the aforementioned 2 player mode and difficulty settings. The conversion is based on the Mission Colecovision emulator for MSX and features some nice improvements such as improved support for keyboard and joysticks. Also, a turbo mode is available for Turbo-R and some MSX2+ machines.
