GameSpy writes: "Anyone over the age of, say, forty, undoubtedly has at least some memory of the quarter-sucking beast known as Space Invaders. Often disguised as a cocktail table but usually manifesting itself in North America as a cavernous, garishly decorated cabinet propped up against a wall, the game was one of the earliest arrivals in the video coin-op revolution that assaulted our shores in the late '70s and early '80s. Now, through the mystic powers of sub-miniaturization, Space Invaders has invaded once again, presumably to show the younger generation exactly what it was that stole away their parents' time and money.
This is not -- by a long shot -- the first time the game has been shrunk and re-released. So why drop twenty dollars on this version? Because, by using a formula that mixes old-school flavor with modern flash, original Space Invaders developer Taito ensured that the aptly named Space Invaders Extreme feels like the ancient yet beloved relic but in reality plays a ton better."
Pros:
-Ridiculously addictive gameplay
-Highly entertaining multiplayer mode
-Conceptually faithful yet revamped and improved
Cons:
-Visually confusing
-Top DS screen could have been better-used
-Single-player game could be longer

It's like Space Invaders. But EXTREME.
Now, a decade later and with Space Invaders hitting its 40th anniversary, Space Invaders Extreme has been revived on PC. It’s roughly based on the Xbox 360 version but with a some major tweaks and quality-of-life enhancements.
