Space Invaders brought back the descending alien formation that in 1978 laid the foundation of the fixed-shooter genre, with the original formula intact —dodging and shooting while the row of invaders drops faster and faster— but with a renewed visual presentation matching Nintendo 64's three dimensions.
More than an innovation, it's a direct tribute to one of the most influential games in the medium's history, made for anyone wanting to relive that essential formula with a modern wrapper, within a console catalog dominated by much more technically ambitious offerings.
