Space Invaders is a 1980 video game based on Taito's arcade game Space Invaders (1978) for the Atari 2600. It was developed and released by Atari, Inc. and designed and developed by Rick Maurer. The game is based on the arcade game in which a player operates a laser cannon to shoot at incoming enemies from outer space. Maurer's version has unique graphics and offers some gameplay variations. These include a two-player mode and variations that allow for invisible enemies and moving shields, and for enemies shots to zig zag and potentially hit players.

00:00Out here we entertain ourselves at home, so we got an Atari video game.
00:11There's so many different games to play.
00:13We especially like space invaders, zapping those little devils from outer space.
00:18It's fun, but personally I think the whole idea of creatures from outer space is a little far-fetched.
00:30No other company offers you as many different video game cartridges as Atari.
