Stellar Invaders

by: Mark Allen

Topics: Apple II games, Action games

Publisher: Apple

Language: English

The object of this game is to hit as many stellar invaders as possible before they move down and scrub you out of existence. You are commander of a pin launching base which may be controller either from the keyboard or with a game controller.

Each invader that you hit increases your score. The invaders on the lowest row are worth one point each, those on the second row are worth two points, and so on up to the fifth row, where the invaders are worth five points each. The 'Space Commander' is worth a whopping twenty points.

Once you have lost five bases or the invaders reach the bottom line on the screen (thus 'scrubbing' you out of existence), the invaders win and the game is over.

(Yes, this is a Space Invaders clone)
