It is considered to be one of the great grandfathers of gaming. Not the first arcade game by any means but the first to catch the public’s imagination, the first to catch fire. If you’ve been living in a cave for forty years or were born in the last twenty, the game was a single screen shoot ’em up where you were at the bottom and waves of alien ships were at the top. You had to destroy them all before they reached the bottom and that was about it.

One thing of note, unlike the classic version, getting hit in this game doesn’t mean you die or lose a life. Instead, you fizzle for a few seconds then carry on, keeping all the points you gained before you were hit. So, what’s the disadvantage of getting hit? Basically, as you’re now out of action for a few seconds, it allows the other players to take advantage and possibly earn more points whilst you just sit there.

Space Invaders Forever seems like a good collection, but I would of liked to have a collection containing the Arcade offerings, and maybe some of the console ports (Like Lunar Loonies). Xtreme is really the only stand-out here as the other games while playable under exact conditions, really don’t fit in. This is definitely not a classic collection of Space Invaders Games, but a mash-up of classic and modern that is underwhelming. I really can’t recommend this release at full price, but it would be a good one to grab if on sale for Space Invaders Xtreme alone. Sadly, this is one “Classic Game Collection” that can be skipped. a b "Space Raiders for GameCube: Release Summary". GameSpot. Archived from the original on March 17, 2009 . Retrieved 2008-04-30.

Each of the upto 4 player’s controls their own cannon and moves them along the lateral defensive line as per usual. The way Gigamax differentiates itself from the other games is that after the initial traditional wave of descending waves (admittedly, much wider than usual to accommodate 4 players), the game throws some new wave types at the player. It inspired numerous other games. [7] Many companies created clones that copied its gameplay, with more than a hundred Space Invaders clones released for various platforms (such as Super Invader and TI Invaders). [8] Others built upon the original's gameplay (such as Galaxian franchise). I don’t know if this is really part of the Space Invaders series, but it does use some of the same graphics and the game says it uses the same circuit board. It’s kind of like a cross between Lunar Lander, Space Invaders, and Frogger. First you must land on a surface while avoiding enemies and using your thruster so you don’t crash. Then after that, you must blast off to the mothership above, continuing to avoid enemies but you can shoot them this time.

The other issue is that the game has 150 levels (300 if you include the hard variants) and they only really get challenging around level 20. After that they can be a bit of a pig to get through occasionally but in a weirdly inconsistent way. It’s too many levels though and you’ll likely be bored long before you finish it (or just too frustrated by the controls to bother continuing). Activision's Two New Dreamcast Titles Confirmed".
