Removing the ram made the sprites disappear. but swapping the ram didn't change anything. In the Galaxian repair manual that Midway put out it describes this exact thing as being a bad 1P ram. In the formation when they're pointing up they're just part of the background. on the title screen they're sprites, because they're upside down (like they're coming at you). As soon as they fly off they turn and turn into sprites, so the ones in the formation were fine but would screw up as soon as they leave the formation. Also on the title screen the 4 aliens were the same way, they had parts missing and were only 1 color each (blue, grey, red, and purple).Īpparently the aliens on the title screen are sprites, and the aliens in the formation on the gameplay are background graphics. I'm going to piggy back on this one since I don't have a place to do repair logs, I just fixed one where the diving aliens were only 1 color, the other colors on each bug were missing (and the entire parts that were the different color were missing too).
