Great port of Space Invaders to the Atari 2600 and one of its better known and remembered games. Ive shown the basic starting mode and managed to clock the score and then onto game 16 which is a lot more difficult. -

This is the version of Space Invaders I grew up with. I love the ominous marching sounds as the aliens close in.

On the original Atari 2600 council there was a trick(these days we'd call it a glitch) that would allow you to fire two missles at a time instead of only one. Using this 'trick' made you practically undefeatable. It really came in handy when it was down to the last few space invaders. I would play and play until I was tired.

I just love how the space invaders are shooting while the laser cannon never fired a shot
-
I feel sorry for the pink ufo. Hes not even a threat, hes just minding his own business.
-
You know, it always looked to me like the invaders were just doing exercises in the sky. Then some idiot started shooting them.

LOL, this brings back memories, and im a 41 year old guy, thanks for the upload.

I had the 2600 and the 5200. Most of the 5200 games were better, but the 2600 Space Invaders is still one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played.

Happy 40 years to the 2600!
-
Great design is timeless.
-
I actually preferred space invaders on atari 2600 than the arcade because of all the variations you had (making the shields move side to side, making the bombs move side to side, etc.). Made it less monotonous and more interesting.

@6:42 nothing on earth is funnier than that sound in the history of video games 🤣🤣

It was 2001. This was only a handful of games I played on a real Heavy Sixer my father once had and unfortunately never came back to this day. But, Space Invaders is one of my favorites for the system along with Missile Command, Asteroids, and Berzerk. The NES overshadows the Atari horribly. This is the console that started it all!

This is fuckinh awesome,those sound effects alone are already awesome, the action is just hylarious.
-
Atari did a great job with Space Invaders, especially with all the options and even adding a dance to them when 4 were left. Why they didn't spend the time to get Pac Man right, ugh....
-
Oh yes old memories watching and playing this version was a blast
-
You know you are being bored when you are watching someone playing Space Invaders from youtube. :p
-
One of my all time favorite games on the Atari Video Computer System. I wish the people who made the Atari Flashback Classics would have put this game in either Volume 1 or 2, but they didn't.
-
this was amazing!! A page right out of my childhood!
-
The sound on my Atari won’t work so I just listen to this while playing
-
When the shields started swaying, the incoming shots started to zig zag, and the space ships turned invisible, even a sweet little ten-year old me had to say, “what the fuck?”
