Space Invaders (Silver Label) - Atari 2600

Space Invaders (Silver Label) for the Atari 2600 is a seminal shoot 'em up video game that ignited the popularity of the fixed shooter genre. Released in 1980, this home console iteration is adapted from the 1978 arcade classic by Taito. Players control a laser cannon, moving it horizontally across the bottom of the screen to shoot descending rows of alien invaders. The objective is to destroy the aliens, who gradually increase in speed and descend closer to the player's position. The game features simplistic graphics, iconic sound effects, and increasingly challenging levels, making it a cornerstone of early gaming culture.
