Time for a classic! Space Invaders, a revolutionary video game introduced in 1978, stands as a cornerstone in the history of gaming. Beyond its pixelated screens, it played an important role in the golden age of arcade gaming, influencing a multitude of titles and game designers across various genres. The gameplay is simple yet remarkably engaging. Players maneuver a laser cannon along the screen's bottom, firing at invading aliens overhead. The objective is clear: prevent the aliens from reaching the bottom, with failure resulting in an immediate game over. The game's difficulty scales up as aliens are defeated, introducing faster movement and accelerated music. Fast forward to 2003, Taito commemorated Space Invaders' 25th anniversary and Taito's 50th-anniversary celebration with "Space Invaders Anniversary." Originally released for the Taito G-Net Arcade board, it later found its way to the PlayStation 2 and PC platforms. This compilation offers three variations each of the original Space Invaders and Part II, alongside three exclusive variations (Space Invaders Doubles, Space Invaders 3D, and Space Invaders VS). Interestingly, Empire Interactive acquired the North American and European distribution rights for the PlayStation 2 version, yet the game saw release exclusively in Europe. This distinctive compilation not only pays homage to the roots of gaming but also underscores the enduring popularity of Space Invaders, a timeless classic that continues to captivate players across generations.
