I came in second place at the 1981 Space Invaders competition in Toronto. I won dinner for four at an Italian restaurant. I was addicted to this game from 80-82.
Cant wait to get this for arcade 1up next month. Having an actual arcade cabinet rather than just playing it on a tv will really bring back the memories.
Ahhh yes.. This brings up memories.. My mom used to send me to buy some milk, but i always spent the change playing this until she arrived for me and the milk xD. It was either this jewel or mario what i used to play 💙
I've started to play this recently, for the first time since the early 80's. It's tedious firing a certain number of shots to get 300 points for the saucer. I've played loads of games recently and I only get 150 points max. Also it's not good exploiting the fact the invaders don't drop bombs in the bottom row. Just shoot them as they come, it's more exciting!
I remember the first time I saw this game, the screen was black and white. There was a color filter with different color stripes to give the feeling of the color on the screen.
Sure I had that one in my SI playlist? Could not find it. I remember that, too. Funny history! If you want, I might try and do it for you? Thanks for watching! :)
Love this we had ia tabletop pint top in a bar I worked in in the 90's when I was in 20's. One of the regulars taught me. You can play two games: count # numbers for the 300 satelite for points, or just go and shoot columns as they come and try to get as far as possible. I got as far as level 14/15 nerves shredded lol. 4/5/6 are identical and 7/8/9 too by 10 I was wrecked and I think they were back to normal but I was so stressed I just made it a few more levels.

I finally found another video that went up to Level 9 and for the Taito version, the alien setup is the same for the first three boards, but changes for Levels 4/5, 6/7, and 8/9. Nasty versions I might add.
does any one remember space invaders part 3 ,it had a timer set on set 3 and the invaders didn't move and set 7,8,9 the invaders looked different, there is nothing on the net about part 3 ,or even part 4 where the invaders split but you didnt know which ones would like in part 2 and the space ship across the top fires at you
+MrGregsumner Man, that's a question! Never remember a timer, or invaders looking different. i have loads clones of invaders, look through my video's see if any ring a bell....
I had it all along!! Here you go mate, It's Space "WAR", not invaders. That's why we couldn't find it. Don't mention it!!! ;) ua-cam.com/video/0UrRzGTkVk0/v-deo.html
I've never seen part 3 except a clone on MAME called 'Space War Part 3" with slightly altered graphics and a faster shot from the player but mostly like the first version of Space Invaders
Kernzy P it’s harder because the blinking saucer is only worth 200 points and the 20 point aliens split on the second wave instead of the fourth wave. I popped a 5,900 on the harder version after 25 plus years of not playing it at my local retro arcade. I was pleased and I’m looking to get to 10K and beyond.
it is very close...Midway's Deluxe Space Invaders was very similar to Taito's version...Midway had a B/W screen with colored overlays and the game had the modified formations starting on level 2 instead of 4...also the flashing saucer was worth only 200 points instead of 500...although the game attract screen said "Space Invaders Part II"
If you left one full row to last then killed the invaders from the top and left the bottom one till last you used to get extra points and some sort of rainbow effect it was hard as you had to angle your shots from the side anybody remember this ? Also what we called counting to get the best possible score from the spaceships i'm from the uk and it was a taito machine i played.
Vous ne connaissez pas le truc de 1000 pts? Si le dernier ennemi tué est celui en bas à gauche, ça donne 1000 pts. Et si c'est le 2e, ça donne 500 pts. Mais c'est vrai que c'est difficile à faire
This player seemed way too concerned about shooting the flying saucers and too little concerned about the swarm of aliens descending on his a$$. But in the end, I think s/he played about as well as I used to in the arcade. I never got to the point where I was sweeping away legions of these beasts easily.

I like how the music gets faster as the level progresses. It really gets your heart racing!

So do the aliens' animations. They get faster as the level progresses.
I love the sound they make when they move lol

Cant wait to get this for arcade 1up next month. Having an actual arcade cabinet rather than just playing it on a tv will really bring back the memories.
I've been looking at them too.i wish they did one that looks more like a coffee table.i know you can get them elsewhere,but twice the price.
this is my favorite classic arcade game
This one, or the original? Or maybe Invaders Deluxe? :)
The deluxe or part two version is in my top three
Same here
Just bought a smart phone to phono lead and running it through the mixer through the P.A system at home......sounds unbelievable!!!!
Space Invaders but with color and a cool title screen.
Yeah this game is sooo addicting,it alway’s keeps you want to come back for more.
Classic sound when you hit the top spaceship .
Love Space Invaders

The Deluxe Midway version is much harder because the blinking saucers yield only 200 points instead of 500 and the splitting aliens start at level 2.
looks like something underwater where jellyfish, krabs and sea-slugs try to eat a little submarine
It was based on squid! Nice one ;)

Thanks Kernzy P!, Hope You are Well & Take Care!,MS'sP.
Iconic!!

Great vid. I played this back in the day. Clocked it and got all the bonuses. 10 sheets without a miss is worth 5000 pionts.
Does it really?? I have never known nor seen evidence so far...
@@kernzyp Yes and other bonuses that I can't quite remember. You can't miss a shot and all mystery ships must be 500. Space Invaders 2 in the arcade.
