Galaxian came before Galaga Ghost Muncher was a clone of a clone...the game it cloned was called Hangley Man which was a clone of Pac-Man to make it harder alhtough it was always in a Pac-Man cabinet

hangley man is a hack, not a clone.

I remember a game called Condor, which was a bootleg of Phoenix. I also remember playing a Defender bootleg, however I don't remember it's name.

Did he really say that Galaxian was just the sequel to Galaga? did he do literally NO research? I mean, even with no research, and being a typical millennial thinking life began when he was born, it still should be obvious which of these games came first.

Very interesting - I was hoping for home version clones, for a couple reasons. First, there were an unbelievable number of home clones of Centipede. Second, because it's extremely challenging to replicate the Centipede movement in a home version. In many cases, they don't even really try - they just use tile based blocky motion. But in some cases, it's done extremely well and I'm not even sure how the heck it's done. In particular, the Atari 5200 version is mind-blowing in its superiority over the Atari 800 version (they both have the same basic internal hardware). The 5200 version has pixel smooth motion at maximum frame rate, and the graphics aren't even aligned to 4 or 8 pixel boundaries (the mushrooms are 6 pixels wide, which lets them look a lot better than 4 pixel wide mushrooms). I still don't understand how they technically accomplished this. A clone with exceptionally smooth motion is the C64 clone Centropods. This one is less mysterious, using normal 8x8 pixel aligned tile graphics, but with character tiles that allow smooth horizontal motion (alongside jerky vertical motion). I can figure out the based method by which it works, although it has significant flickering that I don't know the reason for.

War of the Bugs takes "inspiration" from Galaxian's color scheme because it runs on its hardware. Galaxian's hardware was popular with arcade bootleggers because it was so cheap. 4 Fun in 1 also runs on the hardware.

1:08 is actually a caterpillar called a dratapillar and the mushrooms are actually trees at 1:06

Why did this list suddenly have nothing to do with Centipede?
