general description
This is one of the most popular games of all times. During its heyday, there were arcades that were filled with JUST Space Invaders. In Japan, this game caused a yen shortage!
Aliens are attacking, and you must use your base to defend the Earth. A classic game in which the background "thump-thumb-thumb" of the Aliens approaching only increases in intensity as you destroy more of them. Watch out for the UFO, who can be an easy 300 points.
A great classic game, and considered to be one of the games (if not THE game) that led the way for the 80s invasion.
about this version

*NOTE: Dimensional Weight (also know as "Dim Weight") is an industry
standard formula used by shipping companies. The calculation is used
to determine how much space a package will take up. Most shipping rates
are calculated based on Dim Weight or actual weight, whichever is greater.
The formula for Dim Weight is (L" x W" x D")/194. The examples shown here
show the actual dimensional weight for the game, and then given an
estimated shipping dimensional weight assuming that 5" of packing
material is needed in each dimension. Your actual results may vary.
