About the game:
Y'know...there's a great video that tells you everything just up there. Maybe you'd like to watch that instead of reading some boring paragraph about how Space Invaders was a revolutionary milestone in video gaming history, and how it not only kickstarted the video game industry, but also became the icon of gaming as a whole. But, hey, you do you. This paragraph's only here for the algorithms anyway, so it's anyone's guess as to if it'll even work.

Space Invaders was the second arcade game I remember playing. (Sprint driving game was the 1st, but did not hook me on arcade games) Playing this iconic was the gateway for me. I played it in a pub my Dad took me to. Just got a reproduction of Pepsi Invaders for my Atari 7800. Takes me back to the simpler times of 8 bit aliens and cola wars. I thank this RU-vidr for the great job on showing so many versions

Insane amount of effort here... great video mate

@BrokenCircus 4 года назад

Thank you!

@brobunni 2 года назад

I agree, you did a really good job on this vid!

@Autumn9 2 года назад

RU-vid recommended this to me right as I started replaying Extreme on the DS. Oddly convenient timing, but I won't complain, this is really well made and deserves more recognition!

@davidcorbett341 7 месяцев назад

I have this game Space Invaders Anniversary on PS2 its a great game takes me back to the late 70s through the 80s when I was addicted to the game with mates seeing who could get highest score.

@EdgeOfCasualGaming 6 лет назад

Okay, so I didn't have time to watch a 40 minute retrospective, but I did watch 11 minutes, which is 11 minutes more than I thought I'd watch. That's a compliment of sorts. Honestly, this was pretty impressive. Super professional.

@BrokenCircus 6 лет назад

That is great to hear. Thank you! Hope you get time to watch the rest of it :)

@wilhemtehlynx 8 месяцев назад

I have the Gameboy Colour version and boy do I love it. To me it was a great game to pass the time with. And the music is a banger.

@ricmageyt 4 месяца назад

Im making a space invaders like, and since the begin a watch a looot of videos of Space Invaders, so, and until now a never was saw so many different versions as in this your video, Gongrats! Thank you Broken Circus!

@BrokenCircus 4 месяца назад

Glad I could be of service. Good luck with your project!

Great video! I really hope it gets more views and I intend on showing it in my social groups. I made my own Space Invaders retrospective recently and found this through the Recommended Videos. Thanks for covering Extreme, Extreme 2 and Get Even! I unfortunatley was not able to nab Get Even before the ability to add points was disabled from the Wii E-Shop. By the way, 95 is my favorite game in the series, so it DOES have it's fans out there!!

@Mingodough 3 года назад

I wish they included some of these games in the space invaders invincible collection. Amazing video :p

@BrokenCircus 3 года назад

Agreed, I feel like the collection is kinda lacking a little. No Lunar Loonies, even.

@braxiations7868 Месяц назад

rewatching this again and… u predicted it! Moon Base Zeta showed up in a compilation on xbox pretty recently! not 50th anniversary but still. i think some other unauthorized version, “Space King” was included too

@braxiations7868 Месяц назад

also, note on space invaders revolution which i replayed recently, the touch screen isn’t useless! if you accumulate enough total points in the classic mode you unlock power ups that can be expended for energy in each round (that’s what the blue meter is in the bottom left.) it’s really weird that it’s not mentioned anywhere in-game, but it makes some of the annoying levels a lot easier. really weird decision though

@electricmastro Год назад

I think there would be more appreciation for The Attack of Lunar Loonies in light of how many other Space Invaders games otherwise tend to be pretty similar to the 1978 game, perhaps a little too similar. Hahah.

@BrokenCircus Год назад

On reflection, it feels a bit like Taito's answer to Galaga '88

@youtuberandoms8237 4 года назад

Excellent work. Did you basically get them all?

@BrokenCircus 4 года назад

All the major ones, I think. There were a few spin-offs I missed, and of course a million and one clones and knockoffs. Thanks for watching :D

@Golbez1991 5 месяцев назад

I adore Space Invaders Extreme. I even went ahead and pay the huge shipping costs to have the paddle which was only released in Japan.

@BrokenCircus 5 месяцев назад

Oh, I would LOVE to have the paddle. Hard to find these days, though!

@Golbez1991 5 месяцев назад

@Bloodreign1 2 года назад

Looks like two Japanese releases weren't mentioned, the Famicom port of the arcade game, as well as the Saturn port.

@braxiations7868 8 месяцев назад

Really great video!! Good to see some thorough attention for these games from someone who's clearly an actual fan! But it's been 5 years... where's the infinity gene video???

@BrokenCircus 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for your kind comment! As for Infinity Gene, it is about time it got a proper look, huh? When I can get my Xbox 360 set up again, I'll give it a bash.

First licensed game was Midway Winner, a Pong variant in early 73. Try again.

@BrokenCircus Год назад

While I appreciate the information, I'm not sure your suggestion of remaking an entire five-year-old video from scratch just for that is entirely warranted

@thedillestweed2644 Год назад

@@BrokenCircus 5 years? Ope. RU-vid's Algorithm is a strange thing

@BibbusReal 2 года назад

worst thing about this video is that it has a little bit of views

@BrokenCircus Год назад

This is the tragedy of the RU-vid algorithm, unfortunately. Got to rely on word-of-mouth these days more than ever. Nevertheless, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for commenting!
