I hate that game, it's too slow/boring.

Great article Benj, read it before you posted it here actually, funnily enough (for some reason the 1Up articles don't have dates on them though, so I didn't know if it was new or old! You should tell them to add dates, it's really confusing).

Great article thanks.
Space invaders was the first game I ever played (on arcades) and the first game I ever owned (for atari 2600). So it has a special place in my heart.
Everytime I hear the famous marching sound, i feel oppressed, lol

Space Invaders is among the handful of home console games that is better than the coin-op!

I was never a big fan of Space Invaders but the scrolling shooters that it engendered, oh baby!

The 2600 version was great, with around a hundred different modes with various settings tweaks. But I must admit, overall, Space Invaders fills me with tension and dread.

I'm glad you liked it, Geoff. I would have loved to know more about Nishikado too. I tried to arrange an interview, but I was pressed on time and I don't speak Japanese. Perhaps I'll learn some day.

Really enjoyed it. I would have loved to know more about Nishikado (background, family, education…) but I'm a geek that way.
Thanks for another great article.
