Space Invaders – Arcade Classic
About Space Invaders – Arcade Classic
Space Invaders is the legendary 1978 arcade game by Taito that launched the gaming industry. Defend Earth from descending waves of alien invaders. The aliens move side to side and drop down, shooting at your cannon. Clear them all before they reach the ground.
How to Play
Use Left/Right arrows to move your green cannon and Space to fire. You can have up to 3 bullets on screen at once. Aliens shoot back — dodge their projectiles. Clear all aliens to win. If they reach your level or you lose all 3 lives, it’s game over.
Tips and Strategy
- Shoot from edges. Picking off columns from the outside in prevents being flanked.
- Dodge proactively. Watch enemy bullets and move before they arrive.
- Manage your shots. With limited bullets, don’t waste them — aim carefully.
- Clear bottom rows first. Lower aliens are closer to your base and more dangerous.
Game Features
- 4 rows of 8 alien invaders
- Left/Right + Space controls
