Space Invaders is a game in which the player controls a laser cannon by moving it horizontally across the bottom of the screen and firing at descending aliens. The aim is to defeat five rows of eleven aliens—some versions feature different numbers—that move horizontally back and forth across the screen as they advance towards the bottom of the screen. The player defeats an alien, and earns points, by shooting it with the laser cannon. As more aliens are defeated, the aliens' movement and the game's music both speed up.

I was born in 1995, a time when the bit wars were over and arcade cabs were on the decline in favour of the video games you didn't have to lave your house for. But at 5 years I didn't know about any of that, all I knew was that my Aunt and her Boyfriend had a PS1 and it was. Awesome
At the time me and my brother woudl literally just tap that X and keep the rockets flying, while the adults in the room moved us.
This was my earliest memory of gaming. But I don't just rate it for nostalgia. I've plaued the game since those sweet memories over two decades ago and this still feels like one of the best way to experience thsi timeless classic. Sure I never played on a cab on a lazy Sunday afternoon in a neon-lit 1980s arcade. But until time travel truly is a thing. This is it.
Eventually that very same Playstation became mine and as I sit looking at a PS5 with SSD, lightning fast load times and graphics that look like they are taken straight from real life; we've come a long way. I wasn't there right at the start, but as is the case with many of you there's a love and passion for this hobby.
But it all starts somewhere.

Timeless, this game is so fun, and this version is probably the best. still second rate to centipede. also this is on PC and I played that version.
Esse joga contextualiza muito bem a existência do infame Space Raiders. A virada pro estilo darktrevas em 2002 não surgiu do nada: Space Invaders X (ou simplesmente Space Invaders nos EUA, só para nos confundir) pavimentou o caminho para ele. O estilo visual é evidentemente mais "americanizado" e "realista", mas ainda há um senso de humor na abordagem, com estilão de quadrinhos noventistas que não se leva tão a sério assim, mesmo querendo parecer "adulto" e "radical". Eventualmente verei até onde esse caminho vai levar quando jogar Space Raiders, mas aqui o resultado é... Ok. É um Space Invaders inofensivo, com umas mecânicas legais de power up e uns chefes meio meh no meio.
One of the best Space Invader remake games that I have played.
GBC Version.
My favorite gameboy game.

My mom's favorite game, we played it a lot together growing up. I remember being so impressed she knew how to beat all the bosses.
Also, the music totally slaps.
