Space Invaders is an arcade video game developed by Tomohiro Nishikado and released in 1978. It is one of the earliest shooting games and the aim is to defeat waves of aliens with a laser cannon to earn as many points as possible. This Arcade Archives edition emulates both black/white and colored versions with a combination of color filters and backgrounds mimicking the original arcade machines, along with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support for smoother playback of the original frame rate.

Also known as Arcade Archives 2 SPACE INVADERS
