SPACE INVADERS
Space Invaders is a single player, freeware clone of Taito’s Space
Invaders. The objective of the game is to achieve a high score. The player has
control of a canon at the bottom of the screen and must successive destroy
waves of advancing alien ships. There are three lives in this game, so if a
canon is destroyed there are two replacements available. Additional canons are
awarded every 10,000 points. If an alien lands or if a canon is destroyed the
player must restart the current level again. As each successive screen is
cleared the next screen starts with the alien ships positioned lower down the
screen. The game is over when all canon have been destroyed. The game is
played via the keyboard. It does not record the scores the player(s) achieved.
