I was gifted a 3D printer, introducing a hobby I didn't know I needed... With predictable results.

I reimagined one of the original Space Invaders as a Sci-Fi horror monster.

Some people might argue that it never gets better than the original, and this Atari 2600 Heavy Sixer is here to defend its title as the O.G.! Scoop up this retro gaming relic while its still available! #hudsonsvideogames #hudsonsvideogamesaltamonte #atari #atari2600 #pitfall #pacman #galaga #defender #breakout #spaceinvaders #asteroids #mspacman #et #burgertime #videogames #retrogames #vintage #gaming #retro (at Altamonte Mall) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrZrf0v_wt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Space Invaders (1978)
Release date - April 1, 1978
Genre: Arcade, Atari, MSX
Developer - Taito
Designer - Tomohiro Nishikado
Company - Taito
Description
Space Invaders was the first fixed shooter and set the template for the shoot 'em up genre. The goal was to defeat wave after wave of descending aliens with a horizontally moving laser to earn as many points as possible.
Space Invaders was an immediate commercial success; by 1982, it had grossed $3.8 billion (equivalent to over $13 billion adjusted for inflation as of 2016), with a net profit of $450 million (equivalent to $2 billion adjusted for inflation). This made it the best-selling video game and highest-grossing entertainment product at the time, and the highest-grossing video game of all time.
Gameplay
Space Invaders is a fixed shooter in which the player moves a laser cannon horizontally across the bottom of the screen and fires at aliens overhead. The aliens begin as five rows of eleven that move left and right as a group, shifting downward each time they reach a screen edge. The goal is to eliminate all of the aliens by shooting them. While the player has three lives, the game ends immediately if the invaders reach the bottom of the screen. The aliens attempt to destroy the player's cannon by firing projectiles. The laser cannon is partially protected by stationary defense bunkers which are gradually destroyed from the top by the aliens and, if the player fires when beneath one, the bottom.
As aliens are defeated, their movement and the game's music both speed up. Defeating all the aliens brings another wave which starts lower, a loop which can continue endlessly. A special "mystery ship" will occasionally move across the top of the screen and award bonus points if destroyed.
Did you know? For years, the creator didn't know how to play his own game!
