almost like the breakout of shmups. stages take too long because of how slow the gameplay is

We should invade...SPACE (not much to say)

Better than Galaga/Galaxian


This game was apparently so good it gave Groundskeeper Willie arthritis in his index fingers.

Fun fact: This was the only videogame Harvey Milk ever played, I think that's a fun fact.

You'd be surprised at how well this one holds up compared to other games of that era. Glad the arcade culture is still alive where I live so I can play things like these much easier

I love how the enemies get faster when you kill some of 'em. In fact, it shouldn't be like that. That happens because the Atari's microprocessor can run the game faster as some enemies disappear. It was an awesome way of using the console limitations to make something even better.

Sempre adorei como os inimigos ficam mais rápidos quando você os mata. Isso não foi proposital, pois esse processo de aceleração só ocorre pelo fato do Atari poder processar o jogo mais rapidamente a medida em que há menos elementos na tela. Uma ótima forma que os desenvolvedores tiveram de aliar a limitação da época para algo incrível.

The great granddaddy of the shmup and still fun today. The sound can be a little annoying but the gameplay is still great even if it does get unfair pretty fast. It's a great first video-game for anyone.

Rating: 3.5 - This game is good enough to be noteworthy

Apparently the creator can’t get past the first level.

The dullest of dulls, gets repetetive after 12 seconds. Requires basically no attention.

How about you go invade some bitches?

Classic game, probably one of the first rage-inducing games I ever played. Atari, good times. Leves were way too long though, or at least that's what it felt like at the time

Funny pixel aliens. Also one of the only things Taito still cares about now.

This is the only videogame my dad plays and its the only thing we really bond over anymore. I've had a rocky relationship with my family for most of my life so at least this game has helped remedy that partially.

While there were more than a fair few videogames made before Space Invaders, Space Invaders was the first actually good videogame.

Hard as hell and addicting.

The oldest game that you can easily go back to and still have an absolute blast. The gameplay is the granddaddy of all vertical shmups, the aliens are iconic, the sounds when they move unforgettable, a little mixed on the cover mechanic but there are things you can do with it, the challenge being dynamic to the amount on screen, this game just offers so much with so little!

a relic of it's time, but still fun

Space invaders is simple, addictively fun and a time sink, it still holds up incredibly well, and it’s just a classic, you’ll never forget the sound.


One of my favorite classics

one day this game will be taught in school as a work of art but you still aint ready for this conversation

Juego 6: Space Invaders (1978)

Divertidísimo, pero también increíblemente difícil. Otro de esos clásicos inmortales. Me ha sorprendido lo fino que va comparado con otros juegos de la época.

I really love the multiple variations to play this game. There are 112 different ways to play this game. 16 are single player and the rest are two players.
