Invader From Space

Once upon a time way before the days of the internet, mobile phones and even before Playstation and Xbox were the handheld video games of the 80's. These were the only portable video games consoles available and were beautifully simple and addictive. Now these days are long gone but you can rewind back in time and bring back some of those memories. These types of machines were made by companies such as Grandstand, Tomy, Entex, CGL, Tandy, Bandai and Epoch to name but a few. This is an accurate replica of the original game with slight modification to the joystick control. This has been replaced as it simply did not work well on a phone or tablet.

Great game

I loved this game as a kid I'm 46 and seen this in the App Store and downloaded. I just wish the score would go past 999. So I can still play more levels. But thank for the game. Love it!


Please, make more!
