Dating back to 1978 (!), Space Invaders is a simple game of timing as you try to shoot down a horde of invading aliens that are descending ever closer. The Saturn disc is a compilation of four variants of the game, but essentially, it’s the same game with slightly different backgrounds each time.
The game comes over relatively no-frills, but its addictive nature proves that even though a game looks like it belongs in the 1970s, gameplay is king. There is also a two-player battle mode.
Released in Japan only in December 1996, it was also repackaged into a double-pack, along with Puzzle Bobble 2X, a few short months later. #BestOf1970s
A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
