Yes the locations of both towers are very close to each other, just a few minutes walking distance. Not to be confused with the Skylon Tower, this is The Tower Hotel, formerly known as the Minolta Tower. If you are playing the original Playstation port on a Playstation home console you will have access to an additional bonus mission, The Rising of Gourb, which was never released in arcades. The Galaxian 3 Theater can run one of 2 games Galaxian 3: Project Dragoon or Attack of the Zolgear, which is the sequel.
The more common 6 player stationary theater is what was located at the Minolta Tower and was the only type of Galaxian 3 theater that would be located in North America since it was the only type of Galaxian 3 Theater sold in North America by Namco. While there were some other versions of Galaxian 3 made including a 16 player version and a 28 player version these versions were only seen in Japan and perhaps some other overseas locations. Today this building is known as The Tower Hotel (I will refer to it as the Minolta Tower for the rest of this story). This location is walk-able from almost anywhere in the Niagara tourist district. This particular instance of a Galaxian 3 that we are taking a look at today was the one located at the Konica Minolta tower located on Fallsview Blvd. The Galaxian 3 Theater by Namco is a large theater simulator that was made around 1990 or 1991.
After tracking down the Sega R360 from the Skylon Tower, I decided to look into another one of Niagara’s large attractions, the Galaxian 3 theater by Namco. Here at Arcade Heroes we like to track down arcade games to find out what happened to them if they are no longer on location, especially if its a game that is rarely seen or a particularly memorable game.
