SS Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I'm trying to make a MaxFlash or Mega cart containing all of the A8 Space Invaders variations and clones. So far I have : Apple Invaders Atari Invaders Deluxe Invaders Deluxe Invaders SFX hack Quick Invaders Space Binvaders Space Invaders (Atari official) Space Invaders 5200 Can anyone think of any others that I am missing? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Variations? How about stuff like Gorf, Galaxian, Megamania come to mind. Lots of other shoot from the bottom of the screen type games... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Last night I was just playing a variation of Galaga or Moon Cresta or something along those lines called HyperBlast! and it's pretty damn good! (at least with my rapid fire, i'm too old to be button mashing anymore) The description puts it in the Space invaders genre. I love the warp between levels and the colorful and detailed ship and enemies, and it's FAST.

SS Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Good ideas but I've already made a "Gorf/Galaxian/Galaxian-clone" cart. This time I'm trying to focus just on "Space Invaders" type games. Granted, "Quick Invaders" *is* a bit of a stretch...

Gunstar Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Did XXL do a port? Or is that what Apple Invaders is? Or maybe and emulation like Asteroids arcade emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Did XXL do a port? Or is that what Apple Invaders is? Or maybe and emulation like Asteroids arcade emulator? Yes. It looks like "Apple Invaders" is an Apple ][ port by XXL. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-apple-invaders_25100.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Well there is sperm invaders. And the two versions of 8-bit space invaders - the one with and the one without the rocketship on the left side of the screen. Each has a different set of invaders/sprites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 More invaders: http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari_search_73.110.118.97.100.101.114.115._8_G.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClausB Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Do you want hacks too? A8 Space Invaders on cassette was my first crack and hack: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/124782-first-hack/?do=findComment&comment=1513260 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) The Roklan invader game? Or is that listed already.. By the way OP, when you do make this car file, any chance of posting it along with any others please?

_The Doctor__ Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think we can assume Deluxe Invaders is Roklan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Note Xuel's Deluxe Invaders hack has a nice added feature where you can use manual firing (press A to toggle) this makes play more involved. Apple Invaders would easily be the best version if the code could be tweaked to slow it down a bit when there is only 1 invader left 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks Doc, forgot Deluxe was the Roklan one.....Old head... And yes, the Apple one is amazing playable, really nice port over, screams shoot em up construction set but actually is a really nice game.. As for Atari's awful version, I don't know the back story but surely a license from Taito for a real version could have been had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 By the way OP, when you do make this car file, any chance of posting it along with any others please?

Mclaneinc Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thank you, may I ask for the Galaxian one you made as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Thank you, may I ask for the Galaxian one you made as well Here it is. It's not nearly as interesting though. Maybe I should think about redoing it with some Moon Cresta/Megamania type games added like Gunstar suggested.

Bunsen Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Have a look at Invaders (10Liner by Vitoco) and Minimalinvasiv (10Liner by Flo). Amazing stuff in only 10 lines of BASIC... http://gkanold.wixsite.com/homeputerium/games-list-2017 http://gkanold.wixsite.com/homeputerium/single-post/2016/03/26/Invaders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
