Oh well, I guess I'm the only one to realise how boring this game is... Even when I was playing it on my Atari (or was it Coleco Vision?) when I was 5-6 I never played this game for long.

Look it's simple:
-this game has graphics (you see what you are and what the enemys are)
-this game has sounds (it's better not to hear them, but it does have them)
-this game has a good interface (you can use either a stick or the keys to move and shoot)
-this game has colors (only 3, but still there are colors)
-this game has action (shoot the aliens who are coming nearer)
-this game keeps scores (the more you shoot - the more you get and there are motherships that score extra)
-you can hide behind the green bunkers, until the bunkers are destroyed (even if you shoot att eh bunkers they will be demaged)
-you are being shot back at
So this was one of the first games ever and it did set the standards for every action game to follow! So whenevery you say this game is boring remember this - it's boring compared to some other game, which is basically just an improved version of this very game (especially sinse you don't like adventure games).

- the game was in the arcades in 1978. the p.c version isnt the same game.
- in the arcades it only had 2 colours (black and white), the colours came from a screen overlay
- space war was created in 1960, beating space invaders by 17 years (space invaders too less than a year to make)
- space war was out in 1972... beating space invaders by 6 years.
- space invaders still sucks. its basically just a computer version of the old 'shooting gallery' games
