Space Invaders

Description

Take a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of arcade video games with Space Invaders. Released in 1978 by Taito in Japan and licensed to Midway Manufacturing for overseas distribution, this game has set the benchmark for the shoot 'em up genre. The game was the brainchild of Tomohiro Nishikado, who drew inspiration from popular North American target shooting games and science fiction narratives. Space Invaders quickly became a commercial success, achieving the highest-grossing entertainment product at its time, and it remains the highest-grossing video game of all time. It's more than just a game - it's a part of popular culture that has inspired countless other video games over the years. The goal is simple: control your laser cannon, move horizontally, and defeat the descending aliens. But be warned, the game ends if the invaders reach the bottom of the screen. With its pixelated enemy alien, Space Invaders has become a symbol of video games as a whole. So, don't wait any longer. Join the ranks of players who have been charmed by Space Invaders and experience the game that started it all.
