Space Invaders is an arcade game that was created by Tomohiro Nishikado and released in 1978. The game was originally designed as a horizontal space shooter but that idea was quickly scrapped when the programmers disliked how the graphics moved on a horizontal plane, which was jittery and unappealing. They opted, instead, to create the game vertically where the movements where more in line of aliens coming down from space.
This was the first shooting video game, and it became a major success for Taito Corporation. The key feature of the game is that enemies are represented by small geometric shapes with a limited number of rows and columns in them, which makes it easy to design the game.
The player controls a laser cannon at the bottom portion of the screen while the aliens stay afloat above, with the goal of making their way or 'landing' at the bottom. They must defend Earth from an alien invasion by shooting down enemy attackers which appear one at a time in groups of three. When an alien is shot, it is removed from the playfield and replaced by another appearing progressively faster with each new wave. The game ends when all the aliens either land or reach the bottom of the screen, or if they destroy the player's cannon.
Space Invaders was one of the first video games to achieve international success, starting in Japanese arcades in 1978 and released on the Atari 2600 cartridge format several years later. Many sequels and variations have been released since then. Space Invaders has been ported to most subsequent video game consoles and personal computers, beginning with the Taito Z System arcade system board (Taito 1977), and followed by numerous other systems.
Space Invaders is considered one of the most influential video games of all time and one of the earliest examples of a shoot 'em up game. It inspired many similar games and led to the development of several important subgenres, including fixed shooters and multi-directional shooters aka side-scrolling shooters.
