Space Invaders (Atari 2600 video game)
1980 video game
Summary
Space Invaders is a 1980 fixed shooter video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 2600 as a port of Taito's 1978 arcade game of the same name. The game plays similar to its arcade counterpart, as the player operates a laser cannon to shoot incoming alien enemies from outer space. The 2600 version has unique graphics and offers gameplay variations including a two-player mode and options that allow for invisible enemies, moving shields, and for enemies' shots to zig-zag.
