Space Invaders is a classic arcade shooter released in 1978 for the Arcade Machine platform. This game invites players to defend Earth by controlling a laser cannon and shooting down waves of descending alien invaders. The main objective is to eliminate all enemies before they reach the bottom of the screen.
The game's pace gradually increases as the aliens speed up with each wave cleared, creating an escalating challenge. A unique mechanic in Space Invaders is the shield barriers that offer temporary protection but can be gradually destroyed by enemy fire and the player's shots.
One distinctive aspect of Space Invaders M is its iconic pixelated alien designs and the rhythmic sound effects that intensify as the enemies approach. The concept of rows of aliens moving side-to-side and downward was innovative at the time, making it a foundational title in the shooter genre and an influential GBC fighting game archetype.
