Arcade - Flagship with Escorts

Escorts are in the second-highest row of the convoy, with Galaxian flagships up top. Escorts and flagships often attack together, swarming at you with a barrage of laser shots. Escorted flagships are worth more than unescorted flagships, making it a good strategy to leave the top two rows of aliens alone until they begin attacking.

The Galaxian flagship has become one of Namco's most recognizable game characters, thanks to cameos in many other Namco games, from Pac-Man to Tekken.
