Space Invaders is a Japanese shooting video game released in 1978 by Taito. It was developed by Tomohiro Nishikado, who was inspired by other media: Breakout, The War of the Worlds, and Star Wars, and its been redone and redone various times but this is the first time I can say in years I REALLY could not stop playing the game. Maybe its the music or the way the fluid controls feel when I’m playing it. ( only on PS4 I assume it feels the same on other consoles.) The following games are part of the Space Invader Forever Collection:
• Space Invaders Extreme
• Space Invaders Gigamax 4 SE
• Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders
Each one has its own amazing unique brand of vibrant visuals and a pulsing soundtrack. As a guy in the music industry for the last 13 years a sound track to a video game can really make you feel part of the game and this does it amazingly well. One part of the game has a very anime style feel to it and I was not a big fan of that mixture but SI EXTREME made me feel like it was the 90s again. Since I CANT and YOU SHOULD NOT go to arcades right now during the Pandemic order a copy fo this immersive experience today, Link below I’m curious if Hollywood would pay attention to this version of the game if they ever got that SI movie going only time will tell.
