Hmmm....that's a good question...  Let's see what I can remember.

It goes something like this:  Shoot all the aliens except for one of the
two little guys on the far right (maybe the left instead...)
Anyhow, don't shoot him--instead, wait until he quits firing at you for
several passes, then shoot him.  When the next board comes up, none of
the aliens will shoot at you for the rest of the game (or maybe it's 
until you lose a ship...)  Or maybe all this cheese is for *Galaga*,
not Galaxian...

Hey, I make no claims as to the accuracy of this information..heh, heh..
But, really, this *does* work--I even had the patience to to it once
(You have to wait for like 10-15 min. before the little bugger quits
firing...)
