One thing of note, unlike the classic version, getting hit in this game doesn’t mean you die or lose a life. Instead, you fizzle for a few seconds then carry on, keeping all the points you gained before you were hit. So, what’s the disadvantage of getting hit? Basically, as you’re now out of action for a few seconds, it allows the other players to take advantage and possibly earn more points whilst you just sit there.

The other issue is that the game has 150 levels (300 if you include the hard variants) and they only really get challenging around level 20. After that they can be a bit of a pig to get through occasionally but in a weirdly inconsistent way. It’s too many levels though and you’ll likely be bored long before you finish it (or just too frustrated by the controls to bother continuing).Series logo Epoch released the Japan-exclusive TV Vader in 1980, which was a Space Invaders clone that could be played at home. Space Invaders is surely one of the most famous video games of all time and was the launching pad for the video gaming revolution. The game mechanics and its design make it a game that encompasses all the very best. Space Invaders Invincible Collection Is Finally Getting A Western Digital Release". Nintendo Life. 2021-08-03 .

You’ve got the limited weaponry of the original game and that makes you feel underpowered and weak. The Galaxian type stages aren’t much fun either and feel random and chaotic. The real issue is the boss battles though. These are tedious and miserable and the co-op aspect doesn’t really work due to the timing needed to synch up your shots. We hated it. The music was good though.

This was also on the Space Invaders Forever collection I reviewed last year. It’s a four player Space Invaders game on a wide screen. I think it was only in Japan arcades, and the only time I’ve seen it is on a YouTube video about a recent arcade game trade show. Anyway, it starts out with the invaders coming down in the typical row fashion, but then after a while, they change and fly all over the place and after that, a giant UFO comes down and you must shoot that as the boss. But you have a time limit to do so. It plays pretty well here but I wish I could’ve played it in an arcade!
