Galaxian was the predecessor to the even more famous Galaga.
This ad for the Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 versions of Galaxian is from the August/September 1983 issue of Video Games Player. For more on the Atari 2600 version of Galaxian, see this post. For more on the Atari 5200 version, see this post.
Obviously the Atari 5200 version was better, at least from a graphics and sound standpoint but it probably wasn't as good as it should have been. Other contemporary versions include ports for the Apple II, Atari 8-bit (identical to the Atari 5200 version), Commodore 64 (my personal favorite), Colecovision, NES (one of the best) and VIC-20 among others. There have also been plenty of ports for later systems as well, usually as part of classic game compilations.
