Pleiades (プレアデス) is a fixed shooter arcade game released in 1981 by Tehkan (now Tecmo) and licensed to Centuri.

Pleiades is a multi-stage space shoot 'em up in which enemy ships fly at the player in waves in a similar fashion to games like Galaxian and Phoenix.

In this stage invaders emerge from a space ship at the top of the screen and swoop down on the player in sweeping attacks.

In the final wave the player has to navigate through parked spaceships to dock on a landing pad as the screen scrolls downwards.

Extra points can be gained in this stage by collecting flags as the player moves towards the landing corridor.
