Space Invaders

This morning we stopped at a car boot sale to have a look and I spotted some PS2 games for my daughter to look at and what should be right next to them - a Space Invaders game for the PC!

My hubby wanted to buy it straight away, until I told him that actually I did still play Space Invaders on the computer. You can do at this free site - Play Space Invaders for Free

I've found that playing it with the sound turned off allows me to get some amazing scores that I couldn't even dream of getting during the 80s - I'm sure the sound makes you panic as the aliens get lower, especially when there's just one of them zipping along the screen evading your bullets!

I think that having Space Invaders available for people to play would be awesome at an 80s party, in fact you could have a few of the old style games available like Pac Man and Donkey Kong. May I also mention that you could carry on the theme with the food, yes I'm talking about Space Invaders Baking - delicious and so retro!

If you do decide to have a Space Invaders themed party....or even just an 80s video game themed party drop us a line and tell us how it went.

80s Games

What games do you remember from the 80s? I enjoyed it when the annual fair came into town as they had an arcade game tent and I would play Space Invaders - awesome! I found an online version of the game and it's so easy these days, but then wow it was HARD!!!!!

I score really high scores now, especially when I turn the sound off (hearing the music stresses me in to making mistakes!

What was your favorite 80s game? Vote for Space Invaders of Pac Man at my Space Invaders Rule! page. I guess I just gave away the one I prefer didn't I??!!

Of course there was always the Rubiks cube, but really when you are happy being able to get one side done and a six year old comes along to solve it really, really fast it kind of annoys you!
