  • Space Invaders clones, bootlegs, and knockoffs. This list of arcade games copy almost everything from the original Space Invaders that was released in 1978. Same space ship, vertical shooter with a line of enemies towards the top of the screen. There are a variety of similarities and slight differences in all of these Space Invaders copycats. Some imitators just make small changes to the ship or enemy sprites while keeping all the gameplay the exact same. They get away with cashing in on the popularity of the Space Invaders arcade cabinet.

    I played TI Invaders for the TI-99/4A home computer all the time at the time and it was very good. Smooth animation, aliens different colors, and new aliens appearing every two levels

    The End & Gorf. They barrow signature elements, but make it their own to where you can tell its ~not~ Space Invaders. Many games today do this as well. As for the rest however, those are vicious rip offs. What they show with Gorf is an injustice as well. Gorf has three phases of play styles to clear for each level. All totally different from each other

      Gorf is pretty fun, and had some really cool visual effects along with the synthesized voice. That game doesn't get enough recognition I think. I mean it was the first game to have unique levels I'm pretty sure.

      The best was Alien, they don't have it here. No shields, some of the enemies could fly down at you, you could shoot off their missiles and at the end of each round you faced a boss, so called Beeper (that was how we kids named them). That is my personal game nr.1 ever. I coud spend my whole year savings during the week the entertainers occupied our town.

      ​@@MattTheSpratt I am not English. I used the word "entertainers" since no better one got on my mind neither I found it in the dictionary. Perhaps a better expression would be "a traveling amusement park / company"? You know, full of merry-go-rounds, shooting galleries, the stupid music etc...? And then since 80ies they started to bring a circus caravan full of the "arcade machines". (It looks like a slot machine, you insert a coin and you get a game like 'Elevator' or this 'Alien' ... as far as I remember...) Perhaps we mean the same thing, but my point is that since that moment we never spent a single penny on the 'merries', but what we did we spent ALL our year savings for ONE WEEK playing on the machines. And we also dragged as much money as we could from our parents / aunties and uncles / relatives :)
      We also managed to produce false coins in a engineering factory (pretending learning machinery). This crime happened many years ago so I feel safe to share it with you ... lol.
      I mean that was our "childhood drug" ... certainly. We used to run to the park even during school breaks, banging on the door of the operators, making them open the caravan for us for those 20 minutes ... lol :)))

    The End isn't a Space Invaders clone, Galactica Batalha Espacial is a Galaxian knock off. Space Attack by Sega should had shown up here.
