Super Space Invaders

1992 · MS-DOS · Arcade · Taito

In 1979 Toshiro Nishikado designed a new form of arcade game. A complete blockbuster, people stole money, skipped work, even ruined their marriages to play the game they called "Space Invaders". 2061 AD: Just as "Space Invaders" revolusionised arcade games, new forms of entertainment appeared and left the others in the past. Many of the old machines were placed in orbital space dumps far from Earth. Dislodged by the thrust of a passing cruiser, a lone "Invaders" machine broke away from its orbit and began to tumble through the black void of space. 2073 AD: Picked up by an alien colony with an intelligence far superior to that of man's, the machine was never to be seen again. 2091 AD: Until now... Somehow, the machine has radically changed. All the invaders that were once a simple cluster of pixels have been transformed into true, solid and deadly incarnations of their former selves. All are set to destroy Earth's colonies throughout the galaxy. Something must be done... before tea time. Remember to use your UP arrow as an [ENTER] or [FIRE] button.
