Super Invaders

Super Invaders is a video game in the action genre and published by Acornsoft Limited originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on BBC Micro.

Super Invaders is a variant of Space Invaders. The player controls his defending ship left and right and has to prevent the aliens from landing by shooting at them. Four bastions offer some protection and can withstand a few shots before being destroyed. This version of the game offers three different difficulties, with the harder ones offering some additional gameplay features. The easiest, A Gentle Encounter, plays like a traditional Space Invaders. On the Awkward Situation difficulty the UFO, when it survives without being shot, produces a force shield that guides the aliens and accelerates their speed. The hard mode is called A Terrifying Experience and here the alien projectiles have homing capabilities and follow the player. There are three different types of aliens and they are scored based on how far away they are from the player. The player has three lives and an extra life is gained after 5000 and 15000 points.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
