Arcade Archives: Space Invaders

About this game

Space Invaders is an arcade video game developed by Tomohiro Nishikado and released in 1978. It is one of the earliest shooting games and the aim is to defeat waves of aliens with a laser cannon to earn as many points as possible. This Arcade Archives edition emulates both black/white and colored versions with a combination of color filters and backgrounds mimicking the original arcade machines.

Invaders from outer space approach you and you have to eliminate them with your laser canon. The invaders arrive in waves - make sure you eliminate all of them before they reach you or destroyed you.
