In Galactic Invaders, seven alien crafts fly randomly around the screen, and fire at your laser base. The base can withstand seven hits before it is destroyed. After all seven crafts are destroyed, seven more appear and move at a higher speed. The player scores one point for each craft shot down.
Evaluation: Although this may sound like a standard space invader game, its speed makes this a good game. The player is given an initial choice of speeds from 1 to 100. When I played, speed 1 was too slow and 100 was too fast. At speed 50, I destroyed 53 enemy crafts.
One annoying feature of this game is that the alien crafts often land on the ground for long periods of time. When this happened, I felt obliged to ram the craft with my laser base.
Galactic Invaders works in 16K and is distributed by Sams. It is a simple, fast action game that can be enjoyed by all ages. Definitely a must for the video game connoisseur.
