Space Invaders


Atari 2600
Released 1978 AD

There isn't much that can be said about this game. Did you know that Next Generation Magazine, back in the late 90s, called Space Invaders the most groundbreaking game of all time? They say it was the first legitimate game that allowed you to do something you couldn't normally do in reality. I'm not sure if that's actually a fact, but it's a piece of trivia that pops in my head any time I play this game.
Check out that sweet cover art though!

My high score when I played it for this review was a paltry 2460.

I always thought the explosions looked odd. Especially the one for your cannon/ship/pyramid thing.
