This version differs from many Space Invaders in that it allows the
user to set a large number of variables at the commencement of any
game. Such attributes at the accuracy and number of alien bombs,
games speed, bomb type and scoring are just some of the customizing that
may be set.
Sound is also available, though I couldn't get the benefit of it on my
TRS-80 model III.
Alien space ships gradually move down the screen, attacking your laser
base which you move along the bottom of the screen by the use
of the up and down arrow key. The aliens drop bombs from their
ships and should you be hit by one of these you lose one of your
laser bases. Graphic blocks are conveniently sited for you to
hide behind but gradually get destroyed as they are hit by your fire
or bombs from the aliens.
The game is written in machine language and is, therefore,
capable of very fast action at the higher level of difficulty. The
game would probably not be of interest to owners of other invader
programs but the level of customizing that is provided makes it
a very worthwhile version.
