List of Battlestar Galactica video games

A number of video games have been released based on the various incarnations of the Battlestar Galactica franchise.

Old series

In 1978, Mattel released a handheld electronic game called Battlestar Galactica Space Alert based on the original Battlestar Galactica film and television series.

Mattel also developed a game for its Intellivision game platform which was probably intended to be an official Battlestar Galactica game, but it did not have the legal right to market such a game. The game was released instead under the more generic name Space Battle, although it retains hallmarks of the series, including Cylon-style robots.

The 1978 Battlestar Galactica series inspired a video game for Sony's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox in which the player plays as Commander Adama as a younger man, and flies a number of missions in different craft against Cylon ships. The game follows Adama's career during the first Cylon Wars. It retains many design elements from the 1978 series.

New series

A Battlestar Galactica game based on the new series has been announced for Xbox Live Arcade and Windows PC which will be released in the fourth quarter of 2007.

A fan modification for FreeSpace 2 known as Beyond the Red Line had a demo version released on March 31, 2007. The Beyond the Red Line demo allowed players to play a tutorial, one mission and multiplayer. While not an official licensed product it has been featured in multiple publications.
