This was a big disappointment. The game plays well enough but is completely ruined by monochrome graphics. Monochrome graphics hardly bother me to be frank but this bothered me a lot! It plays nice with quite enjoyable music at the start but the game is let down severely with the in-game graphics. Playing Space Invaders with one colour is no fun at all.

An "updated" Space Invaders.
The best improvement is the simultaneous two player mode.
The addition of background graphics wasn't much of a bonus on other versions of SSI - but it is actually a bit of a problem on the Speccy one. Trying to keep an eye on enemy fire as it falls through dithered backdrops of the same colours is not fun.
There are interesting alien formations and movement patterns, "shields" and various power-ups, but there are no bases or scenery to hide behind, which was a defining feature of the original Space Invaders.
Super Space Invaders feels like a cash-in on the old licence, and the Speccy conversion falls a bit short.

Also good but maybe less
(Comparatively with Space Invaders Emulator)











I mean, it lacked innovation. It's more or less poor to be so many years younger
