Aren't all Space Invader games for PC exact clones? Otherwise it would have to be an emulation, right?
It might be the same, though...

It was an arcade game. Arcade machine, pc. I see a difference. heck, they didn't even have consoles then! (I wonder why.)

Depending on "when" you are refering to they did have a game console... the Atari 2600. which came out around the 1979 time frame. Not sure exactly when but I had one while I was still in middle school (1979/1980).
The original Space Invaders on the arcade machine was black and white and they placed a color filter on the glass that let the bottom be red and the top blue I think. At least I remember reading that somewhere.

As for the original topic of the thread: no, OURS is not the original. It says right there on the page linked to that OURS was written for a competition of classic arcade game clones rewritten in BASIC in 1996. |

Oh man, I have actualy played with one of them (in the 80s)!!!! The one that I found fascinating (as an arcade) was Phoinix (sp?) where it was (the first) that had a whole closed cockpit, a screen on the bottom ahead which you could see in a mirror infront of you, though in shrinked for some reason. Also it had a joystic k(or close to that) and speakers around the seat. (for the mono sound LOL) Ah, man I sucked at that game! |

those 2 are exactly tah same. the filename is also identical: inv78.exe. somehow when I try to move/delete it he says a program has it in use. it doesnt make any sense. I tried to shut down all the processes I could shut down without the system to crash. is it because DOSbox? Im just stuck here with copies that I cant (re)move. :tai:
