Space Invaders Anniversary [PS2/JPN]

NCS Product Synopsis
Update: July 30, 2003
«©NCSX» Twenty five years ago, invaders from space threatened the world and a lone cannon stood against the horde. Arrayed across the heavens, the marauders marched downwards - slowly at first but as their numbers dwindled due to the unerring marksmanship of the defender below, the deliberate march would ramp up to a fervent staccato. When the battle came down to one-on-one, the last invader would perform a maniac's march in an attempt to stamp out resistance. It would fail... but the waves would replenish themselves anew, leaving the lone cannon in an unenviable position...

   Back in the day, Taito probably never envisioned a future in which their game would endure the decades to dawn again on new masses but here it is. Along with the original Space Invaders game, Space Invaders 2 is included along with the Tabletop version, a 2-Player Versus variant (very cool) and a 3-D update where players view the action from below the cannon. Watch as your shots rocket off into the distance at marching armies of invaders which dot the horizon. The following versions are all included:

Space Invaders - Original
Monochrome version
Cellophane version
Full Color version
Cocktail cabinet version

Space Invaders 2

   To round out the Space Invaders fun, a Taito Arcade Game database and historical archive is included for retro fans to revisit the past.
