The Japanese company Taito, around 1978, realized that the idea of shooting aliens is very funny and exciting. Immediately created a game that is called Space Invaders. Later it became a classic of its genre. The plot is utterly simple. Waves of aliens attack the Earth, descending lower and lower. Once they reach the surface, we're in trouble. Moving the laser installation, it is necessary to repulse all their attacks. The game has no end, so whoever gets the most points is the best.
For more than 30 years of history, Space Invaders has visited every self-respecting gaming platform, acquired dozens of clones, had several "official" sequels and left a bright mark on gaming history.
Several years after the release of the original, Atari had a particular challenge to make the 5200 version special, and it succeeded. The disgusting aliens are large and colorful. The sound is a little worse, but at the level. Management is lame, but the trackball corrects this shortcoming. There are also some elements missing from the original version. In general, the game was a success.
