Being asked to write a review about Space Invaders is like being asked to write an original review of the Bible - it can't be done. Everything there is to say about it has been said, but anyway, here goes...

The program loaded first time, and the instructions are quite adequate, even though this must be the only game that would be usable without instructions. The usual features of different values for the invaders and random mother ships are included, but there is no optional skill level.

As the Invaders near the bases, they speed up, and get very fast near the end. I liked the way the shields cracked and crumbled instead of a slice just disappearing. A high score table for the top ten is provided and you can get back to the title page by pressing ESCAPE.
