  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The original theme park version of Galaxian^3 is gone, so good luck getting to experience those 360-degree screens and 28-player capacity, ever. The arcade version is a little better since that at least has a port, but said port only uses one screen and allows less players.
  • Prop Recycling: The Galboss has been seen in many other Namco games - such as a "fruit" in Pac-Man.
  • Referenced by...: In The Black Balloon (2007), Charlie plays Galaxian in one scene.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The initial idea of the game was as a licensed game based on Star Wars. But then Taito released Space Invaders and changed damn near everything.
    • A new entry in the series titled Galaxian Heroes was in the works sometime around the late 2000's or early 2010's. It was planned to use the Ace Combat engine and a music track intended for the game was released as part of the "Ace Combat Infinity & Series Music Best" soundtrack, but nothing has appeared about the game since then.
