Space Invaders (USA, Europe) (GBC)

Space Invaders (GBC) is a classic fixed shooter game where the player takes on the role of a laser cannon operator at the bottom of the screen. The primary objective is to eliminate all waves of alien invaders slowly descending towards the planet.

Each stage begins with a formation of multiple rows of aliens. They move horizontally and gradually lower their altitude, while simultaneously firing projectiles at the player. The player can move their cannon left and right to dodge enemy fire and shoot back. The player is provided with a set of "bunkers" (shields) that are gradually destroyed as they are hit by aliens or the player's own shots. These bunkers offer temporary, but not permanent, cover.

As the player eliminates rows of aliens, the remaining invaders will increase their movement speed, presenting a greater challenge. Occasionally, a flying saucer (UFO) will appear and fly across the top of the screen; shooting it down awards significant bonus points. The game ends when all aliens reach the bottom of the screen or when the player's cannon is destroyed by enemy fire. Space Invaders on the GBC faithfully recreates the addictive and straightforward gameplay of the original arcade classic, offering a nostalgic and challenging experience on the handheld device.
