How do you write an original review of a Space Invaders type game? We've all seen it before and played it many times. So what can you say that's new?

So, if you were expecting something radically different you'd be disappointed with this package, and deservedly so. Invaders is an arcade classic whose integrity should be respected.

If, however, you are looking for a well designed, colourful version of the game which will give you many hours of pleasure, then this is the one for you.

Model B Invaders

It caters for the addicts by providing not only the standard version, but such variants as slow or fast invaders and bombs, with or without shelters.

And for the real head-bangers out there, there are invisible invaders. Of that, all I can say is that if you enjoy this sort of game you probably deserve it.

To sum up, a worthy entrant to the ranks of Space Invader programs. All that's missing is the pint by your side, but I'm sure you'll be able to rectify that.
