Space Invaders is awesome.... I might try and hook up the VCS tonight and give it a go. I am sure any score Tan would post would be easy to beat.

I'm an arcade rat as well and not much of a VCS player. I had to look at my collection to see if I even owned the 2600 version. :P Space Armada (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-013-S-01090-A&) all the way baby!! :freakboy: :laugh: Title: Re: Featured Game - Space Invaders - 4/16/07 to 4/23/07 Post by: OatBob on April 16, 2007, 06:54:43 PM Yes!! Easily my favorite 2600 game. Its different than the arcade version, but this one works! I wish I could say the same about that abomination that is Pac-Man.

Crecente's New Space Invader Kicks (http://kotaku.com/gaming/kicks/crecentes-new-space-invader-kicks-252059.php) Title: Re: Featured Game - Space Invaders - 4/16/07 to 4/23/07 Post by: bum-man on April 18, 2007, 05:25:37 PM LOL, I remember finding the 2600 version in the hidden christmas loot the year it came out. So when my parents went out a couple of days later I had a friend over and we played for hours. Then it went back in the box and waited for my "surprised" look on Xmas morn.
