Game Description

Space Invaders is a classic arcade video game that was first released in 1978 by the Japanese company Taito. It was designed by Tomohiro Nishikado and is considered one of the most iconic and influential video games of all time.

In Space Invaders, the player controls a character at the bottom of the screen and must shoot down waves of descending aliens before they reach the bottom. The aliens move from side to side and drop down a level each time they reach the edge of the screen. If an alien reaches the bottom of the screen, the game is over. The player can also hide behind shields for protection from the alien’s fire.

Space Invaders was a massive success, both in Japan and overseas, and helped to establish video games as a mainstream form of entertainment. Its simple yet addictive gameplay and iconic visuals have made it a beloved classic that has been ported to numerous platforms and inspired countless imitators and adaptations.
