About the Game
As one of the earliest and most influential video games ever made, Space Invaders introduced the world to arcade shooting action. Players control a laser cannon, moving left and right to shoot rows of descending alien invaders while taking cover behind destructible shields.
The challenge? Every time you destroy an enemy, the remaining invaders speed up! The tension builds as the screen fills with alien fire, and only quick reflexes and sharp shooting will save you.
Fun fact: Space Invaders was so popular upon release that it caused a nationwide coin shortage in Japan!
