Space Invaders (Taito, 1980) download

The '80s had its share of good and bad games. Even though I was born in '91, I've a pirated version of Atari 2600, which had built-in games, but also had the option of using cartridges, but back then Atari was that famous in my country. One built-in game that fondly remember is Space Invaders, an arcade classic which I will never forget. There was a game on the Nintendo Entertainment System which was very similar to Space Invaders, Galaxian, which I have better memories of playing it and quickly made be forget about the earlier one. But that was about 13 years ago and recently I have stumbled upon Space Invaders again and wanted to see how well it fared with me. It fared well and didn't quite age a big, at least not for me. The gameplay is very simple: you control what seems to be a small tank, shooting at aliens who come down towards you. The only objective is to destroy them all. The graphics are simplistic and colorful and the sound reminds you of Atari's golden age. In conclusion, only word can describe this game and that word is CLASSIC! If you ever happen to stumble upon this, go ahead and try it out!
