Space Invaders Forever (PlayStation 4)

Product Information

The Atari 2600 version was the first official licensing of an arcade game and became the first " killer app" by quadrupling the system's sales. [4] [23] This is my least favourite game in the collection, I may even like it less than the original Atari 2600 version – why?

The concept for Space Invaders Extreme is the same as the original but there’s a more modern day arcade game feel to the way it does things. The alien craft spawn on the screen and the player cannon, which can only move laterally along the bottom of the screen, shoots them down. Where Extreme differs from the original is that the design tenets are broadened, moving from wave survival to high score chasing, and it’s played at a much more rapid pace. This was also on the Space Invaders Forever collection I reviewed last year. It’s a four player Space Invaders game on a wide screen. I think it was only in Japan arcades, and the only time I’ve seen it is on a YouTube video about a recent arcade game trade show. Anyway, it starts out with the invaders coming down in the typical row fashion, but then after a while, they change and fly all over the place and after that, a giant UFO comes down and you must shoot that as the boss. But you have a time limit to do so. It plays pretty well here but I wish I could’ve played it in an arcade! Theobald, Phil (2005-09-07). "Taito Memories Vol. 2 Preview". GameSpy.

Taito released numerous sequels and spin-offs, many of which have also been remade on multiple platforms, including home consoles and handheld devices. Follow up titles are typically released in celebration of the original's anniversary. The first sequels were primarily released in arcades, while later titles were released on portable devices. Sequels often added power-ups and incorporated new gameplay mechanics—like three-dimensional playing fields, bosses, and rhythm-action—to the original's design. [5] Most titles were released internationally, though some are exclusive to select regions. The games have received different receptions: the Atari 2600 port of the original became the video game industry's first " killer app", while some sequels were regarded as insignificant updates. [4] [6] Space Invaders and several of its arcade sequels are often included in video game compilations released by Taito.

An urban legend blames the game for causing a shortage of yen in Japan, which led to an increase in production of 100-yen coins; [2] [16] however, 100-yen coin production was lower in 1978 and 1979 than in previous or subsequent years. [17] [18] The claim also doesn't hold up to logical scrutiny: arcade operators would have emptied out their machines and taken the money to the bank, thus keeping the coins in circulation. [18] Reports from those living in Japan at the time indicate "nothing out of the ordinary ... during the height of the Space Invaders invasion." [18]
