So yes, this is Space Invaders but with a number of levels that rotate in a three level format. The first is pretty much standard Space Invaders. You’re playing for points here and aiming to shoot more enemies than the other people sat on your couch. The next stage is more like Galaxians with invaders taking swirling paths as they drop down towards you. Each three-level sequence ends with a boss level. Here you and your fellow players have to take down a boss but if you work together, by occupying the same space and shooting at the exact same time, you’ll do more damage.

It may not carry the same weight that it did forty years ago but the name Space Invaders is still huge when it comes to gaming. 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. Space Invaders II Videogame by Midway (1980)". Killer List of Videogames. Archived from the original on 2009-07-14 .

To be fair to the game, it states everywhere that it’s a four-player Space Invaders experience where the objective is to clear the stages as fast as possible and take out the epic bosses. However, considering the game actually allows you to start and play the game as a solo gamer, it doesn’t look good when the game is virtually impossible to complete unless you have other players fighting alongside you. But, before I get into the reasons why this game is impossible if you’re on your own, let’s talk about the actual game itself…
