Can anybody tell me the name of this game?

Arcade game from the early 80's. It was like Galaxian. you were a space ship at the bottom of the screen, only able to move L & R. Low fire rate, like Galaxian.

Enemies were not space ships. In any given round, they were all the same and descended in a pattern. Between rounds, they varied in shape and colour.

At the end of some rounds, your ship would rise up the screen. A mother ship would appear in the middle at the bottom. you would have to dock. if successful, you could continue firing 3 shots at a time.

finally, there was a button which would slow the action for a short while.

any ideas?

PS it isn't astro blaster, gaplus or mooncresta (or space invaders or pac man!), but thanks for trying.

Sounds a bit like Space Invaders

Sounds more like Mooncresta, especially with the "docking" bit

Possibly Galaga? We had Galaga 90 in the RS gaming League last season and it sounds kinda familiar.
