Android Invaders

Author: D.C.

Machine: Dragon 32

What can one say? This is a game of space invaders. Just in case any Dragon owner has spent the last ten years in Antarctica, you have to try to shoot down the aliens before they land or shoot you.

What is different about this version is that the aliens are robot-like creatures, hence Android Invaders. What is even more surprising is that the author is so unsure about you wanting to kill his electro-mechanical inventions that he actually gives you the chance to change them to the standard characters at the beginning.

Control can be either joystick or keys and there are eight levels of difficulty, each of seven screens. These comprise combinations of visible/invisible invaders and shields/no shields, besides speed.

Being written in machine code the game is fast and furious but his little in the way of new twists or originality. For that reason it will appeal to those who want a Space Invader game but won't attract those who have another version already.
