Product Information
One of the best Space Invaders clones ever produced, TI Invaders is indeed very similar to the 1978 coin-op classic. The rock solid gameplay is supplemented by a number of new features to jazz up the potentially tired formula, including automatic fire and Carnival-like bonus rounds in which players shoot a flying saucer that gets smaller each time it is shot. Also, four-legged aliens, round purple creatures and other colorful enemies begin appearing after the second round of play, helping keep the graphics and the shooting action from growing stale. It's fun to get past as many levels as you can just to see what creatures will attack next. A more subtle difference is the scoring system for the spaceships that fly across the top of the screen. Hitting them on the side will net 25 points while a direct hit to the middle scores 300 points. Since players gain a new ship with every 10,000 points (another difference between the two games), this makes accurate aiming that much more important.Product Identifiers
