Space Invaders Classic is the 1978 Taito arcade game that launched the entire video game industry. You control a lone laser cannon at the bottom of the screen, defending Earth from 55 aliens arranged in 11 columns and 5 rows.
The aliens march left and right, dropping down one row each time they hit an edge. As you destroy them, the remaining aliens speed up — the fewer left, the faster they move. Your cannon can only fire one shot at a time, so aim carefully and use the four bunkers for cover.
The bunkers erode as they absorb enemy and player fire. Position yourself behind intact sections to survive longer. Occasionally a bonus ship flies across the top of the screen — shoot it for extra points.
Our RetroPlayNow version captures the iconic pixel art and escalating tension of the original, with faithful sound effects and the characteristic speed-up as aliens are destroyed. Every alien destroyed earns Retro Coins.
