Space Invaders 1978 for Windows

User Reviews

• Can't give minus score for this.

  haematomaApril 13, 2012

  Pros

  No pros at all.

  Cons

  AVG antivirus just absolutely hated this download so it was immediately dumped off my machine.

  Summary

  This might be a good game but as I've had a machine destroyed in a virus attack before I take no chances with anything remotely dodgy. I haven't bothered to try and find out exactly why AVG didn't like this, it may be that there was no problem at all but I was taking no chances.

  Pros

  It can be removed from your hard-drive.

  Cons

  None that I can think of.

  Summary

  More garbage that wants to load MAL-WARE on user's computers. C-Net should check all downloads for MAL-WARE!

• Original and the Best

  pgeorge23November 30, 2009

  Pros

  Ok, so its old and there have been better games arround for years, but this will rin on just about any Microsoft OS no matter how useless your computer is. And for those who say it doesnt work, you just need to press enter at the start of the game.

  Cons

  Well like I said its old so the graphics arent up to much, but its still a great game to play.

  Summary

  Well its just amazing isnt it?

  Games shouldn't always be so complex. This is a nice simple relaxing game.Thanks for the tip regarding VDM sound. Makes it even better. This game is great for anyone that grew up when the original game came out. Always good to play.

  Pros

  it just goes to show, you don't need to have amazing graphics to make a fun game

• Accurate, and with sound.

  arrrrrghJanuary 5, 2007

  Pros

  This is about as close to the original arcade game as is possible. <p> <p>It does have sound - for XP users, search the internet for VDMSound and download and install it. To play the game, right click on the game exe and select Run with VDMS. <p> <p>To start a game, press Enter at the GAME OVER message.

  Cons

  Will make you late for work.
