space invaders
Originally uploaded by James Wellock.
Space Invaders was designed and programmed by Toshihiro Nishikado for Taitoin Japan, in 1978 and is seen to be one of the most popular arcade games ever, even to this day. Its simply based on a group of aliens moving downwards in steps towards you, the ship. The aliens shoot at you and you must shoot back but unlike them you have four shelters to hide behind. So you must destroy all the aliens before they reach your shelters or destroy you. Looking back at it now, its seems quite a simple game but for its time it was revolutionary and has created cult followings all over the world.
