The simply designed creepy-crawly Invaders. The crude color stripes across the playfield. These elements of Taito's original Space Invaders have been faithfully captured by Nintendo in a wonderful Super Game Boy history lesson. Sure, if you played the original arcade version of Space Invaders, you're a video game fossil. However, the game's simple premise and design still work: Shoot everything, don't get shot, and score as many points as you can.
Being a re-creation of the classic game, the graphics and sound are very basic. Although it's hardly state of the art, the anxious mood translates quite well. Nintendo has added some nice effects, like the stereo pan when the UFO cruises across the screen and the Super Game Boy borders and color variations. The main problem with Space Invaders is that it had its day in the late 70s. Back then, it was innovative. Now its repetitive nature might turn off some gamers, though the two-player contest - the second player shoots back from the top using the UFO - is real ly cool.
You may want to try before you buy to see if nostalgia should invade your space. Occasionally a mother ship will fly across the top of the screen. The invasion is not quite as simple as a few new twists have been added. You also have specialized aliens that do anything from multiplying when shot to strafing the ground with lasers to dive bombing you.
The missions take place on planets in our solar system and each planet has its own unique alien unit, a mother ship round which is sort of a bonus level , and its own boss creature. On your side is a new arsenal of weapons; you have the standard one-shot projectile like the original, but you now also can obtain a double-shot, a shield, and you can get a temporary time stop capsule by destroying a mother ship. Of course, if you quit and come back later, any special weapons you picked up will not be available to you.
The game also contains some hidden goodies depending on certain things you do, such as access to additional levels. The CD also has an in-game instruction mode that shows you how to obtain and use special weapons. It is worth watching before playing the first time so you can see how to really utilize the power of your special weapons.
The Tank, aliens, and mother ships all look very nice and are not overly complicated. The opening and ending cut scenes look great and are both nostalgic and entertaining. The quality of the sound is pretty normal for a PlayStation game these days. Again, I have no complaints here. Like all good PlayStation games, there is a manual included in the front of the jewel case. This manual goes over the game and has an interesting short story about the invasion of and how "The Tank" came about.
The game itself also contains most of this documentation during the game itself and in its "Instruction" mode. Space Invaders was the first arcade video games to attract a large audience of players and, some say, paved the road for Asteroids , Pac-Man and their derivitives. The object is simple, destroy a squadron of aliens that move rhythmically to the left and right, decending one step towards your position along the bottom of the screen whenever they reach one side or the other.
Bonus UFOs fly by on top while the aliens speed up as they descend in numbers. There's not much that you can say one way or another about this game - you either like Space Invaders or you don't. Don't plan on getting anything more than what the title promises. Space Invaders had its day and is done nearly perfectly on GameBoy, but the game itself is very average. Games just don't come any worse.
At least SI on the had color. SI on the Game-Boy is just about the most boring game ever made. There is no challenge here, no incentive to get further into the game and nothing to hold interest.
No updates on the theme make this game bomb in my book. If you played it in the arcades and you still have a place in your heart for this outdated blast-from-the-past, then this is for you.
Not in the same league as Gradius , but what can you say. This is Space Invaders. Although it is a great version, this game is just too old to be considered a real contender. The execution is nearly identical, however, so the game gets a point for its carbon-copy translation, but it ends up being a boring old game-which is exactly what it is.
This is what the Game Boy was made tor! Space Invaders is a great game for bringing back memories. In fact, if you have a Super Game Boy, you can play the arcade version's full screen! While the game doesn't change all that much during the course of the game, newer players can see what we were playing back in the days of yesteryear. No matter what system you play it on, Space Invaders is fun. For those who are into nostalgic video games, you can't beat Space Invaders.
It looks, sounds and plays just like the old arcade stand-up, but there are many new options thrown in to make the game more modern.
But why now? This game really should have been released when the Game Boy first came out. Now it seems dated even with the upgrades. If you've always wanted Space Invaders, it's here. You've got to be kidding me! Press screen to move, destroy enemies in your adventure! Stay informed about special deals, the latest products, events, and more from Microsoft Store.
