Well, no game is immortal, and some games such Galaxian³ are so rare. We need to preserve this game, or it will lost forever.
Only Namco has the source of their games, and I doubt they will release Galaxian³ sources in the future

With the time, repairing such arcade games will be very hard, or maybe impossible : no more spare item, no more knowledge or worse : no more interest

Impossible to let die this game !!! I'll do all I can in order to give to the Galaxian³ game the immortality and allows a maximum of gamers to see what the game is.
The bad thing is : I'm not a Mame, Daphne, or other emulator developer but... I'll make all the resources of this game available to them. But I'll keep all the boards and laser disc here. I hope they'll help me to do a good job regarding the roms dump, laser disc capture...

- What are the roms to dump on that board ?
