Galactic is a rare computer game for the Amiga computer, developed by the Finnish game programmer Stavros Fasoulas in the early 1990s.

Galactic is a somewhat unconventional shoot-'em-up game with a rather bizarre plot. The plot is mainly about playing cards - the pips on the cards have escaped from the cards and turned into free-roaming creatures. Your character, the king, has to turn them back into cards by shooting blank cards at them and collecting the resulting playing cards.

The game takes place in a wrap-around area that scrolls freely in all eight directions. Your king character can travel freely in any direction and the card creatures wander around the screen. The creatures are divided into two colours, orange and pink, and your king character needs to touch a coloured ball to turn himself into the correct colour before he can capture the creatures in cards.

The reason for the game's rarity is that Fasoulas never found a publishing company who wanted to publish his game. The only published version of the game is a special "Christmas edition" published on a The One cover disk in 1994. Note that there is no published "normal" edition of the game.
