I think I'm going to be repeating myself a lot in this forum but ASTEROIDS was the most brilliant game ever conceived by mortal men. Its simplicity belied its level of action and suspense. Bravo ATARI. Bravo.

What are you on, and I'll give you 1000WGD's for a gram. How can you like space invaders? That game sucks, I'm sorry to all those out there, but the idea the someone likes Space Invaders shocks me.

I actually really enjoyed Space Invaders when it came out. And Galaxian and Galaga and other games that lined up aliens to be shot like fish in a barrel. :-)

As much as I hate to admit it, it was the best thing going at the time. Space Invaders spawned a revolution in gaming that drove people away from pin ball machines. 1980 or so. Of course it was soon thereafter that the games began to appear in arcades. Asteroids and such. In a nut shell it was the ONLY thing to play at the time.

That's fair enough, it probably seemed amazing to you at the time. I will then stop asking why you liked space invaders so much.
