Invaders from Space

Balls, your doing a gutless judge routine - you judge me, but your not interested in hearing my judgement of you.

"Are you trying to get a productive result, beyond me just doing exactly as you say?

If your not trying to get to a productive result, your just trolling. And try spelling 'Shield' correctly in your game, if you want to talk about twits. "

Lololol, lrn 2 spell b4 u critasize othr peeps spellins.

I'm 33-years-old; I know the complete history of the video / arcade amusement machine industry. The coin op version of Space Invaders actually caused a coin shortage in Japan ~1980. It is the father of vertical screen gaming.

I agree entirely with "Bullet Mechanic's" review of your game. In addition, I would like to add that -- "any twit can make something Game Maker", and your attitude and personality are equally as horrible.

Try producing an identical clone of Space Invaders in a high-level language such as Blitz or VB.net Who knows, you might learn a thing or two, but I certainly wouldn't hold my breath.

Since we’ve got into something of a shouting match regarding this game, I'll put on my reviewer's hat and write up a few thoughts.

Callan asked via shoutbox if I thought “the original space invaders was unplayable” and my answer to that question is no, but that has almost no relevance to my opinion of Invaders From Space because as implementations go it really is an extremely poor one, taking only the bare minimum from the source material to the point where it bears marginally more resemblance to Galaxian. Either way, the sense of menace is lost entirely.

As a game in its own right there’s barely a game there to actually talk about because it’s quite obviously not built around the journey and focuses instead on the ending; I won’t spoil it, but variations on the “punch line” have appeared in science fiction for as long as the genre has existed. If people just want a decent implementation of Space Invaders there’s the excellent Invaders! Possibly From Space! (along with countless other variations and re-workings) and if they feel the need for a shoot ‘em up containing an underlying message, there is the truly superb Genetos.

Wow I got bored til the Ending what a twist! Well done
