Space Invaders (c) 1978 Taito.
Quite simply the most influential video-game of all time. A single player moves an armed 'base' left or right along the bottom of the screen and shoots the endless waves of aliens marching relentlessly down the screen towards earth. There are 4 buildings (shields) at the bottom of the screen that the player can hide behind, but these will eventually be destroyed by either enemy missiles or by direct contact with the invaders themselves. The player's shots will also destroy the shields. The aliens' descent quickens as they are eliminated, making them harder to hit. A flying saucer will fly across the top of the screen at regular intervals and can be shot to earn extra points. - TECHNICAL - Main CPU : 8080 (@ 1.9968 Mhz) Sound Chips : SN76477 (@ 1.9968 Mhz) Screen orientation : Vertical Video resolution : 224 x 240 pixels Screen refresh : 60.00 Hz Palette colors : 2 Players : 2 (most non-US versions) Control : 2-way Joystick Buttons : 1 (FIRE) (US version) Buttons : 3 (LEFT, RIGHT, FIRE) (The US version had no joystick) - TRIVIA - Released in July 1978. The development of Space Invaders only took 3 months, but developing the programming environment alone took almost 6 months. Space Invaders was so popular in Japan that it caused a yen shortage and more coins had to be minted. Many regular produce and goods stores in Japan removed their products and converted into Space Invaders parlors overnight, complete with giant speakers broadcasting the 'thump-thump-thump' of the marching invaders. A true classic in every sense of the word. Invaders contains the first attract mode with a sense of humour. It would first display 'PLAY SPACE INVADERS' with the 'Y' in 'PLAY' upside-down, and an invader would come along taking the offending upside-down 'Y' and carrying it off the screen, and then coming back with the 'Y' right side up and putting it back in place. The invader would then disappear from the screen. The attract mode would also display 'INSERT CCOIN' and an invader would come along and bomb the offending extra 'C'. There are exactly 55 invaders per screen and exactly 11 different in-game sounds. Space Invaders was the first arcade game to work its way out of seedy arcades and into pizza parlors and ice cream shops. The Space Invaders phenomenon stunned many conservative adults of the time who were convinced that video-games soured the minds of their youngsters. Residents of Mesquite, Texas, pushed the issue all the way to the Supreme Court in their efforts to ban the illicit machines from their Bible-belt community. A number of reported incidents of juvenile crime began to surface shortly after Invaders' release, adding to its 'controvosy'. A girl was caught stealing $5000 from her parents and gangs of youths were reported to have robbed grocery stores just so they would have money to play the game. About 65,000 units were produced in the U.S. and a reported 350,000 world wide. Space Invaders inspired a catchy hit song by 'Uncle Vic' called 'Space Invaders' released over the spring to summer-time period of 1980. The Pretenders also released an instrumental song called 'Space Invaders' on their debut album in 1980. A Space Invaders unit appears in the 1980 movie 'Midnight Madness', in the 1982 movie 'Jekyll & Hyde... Together Again', in the 1982 movie 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High', in the 1983 movie 'Joysticks', in the 1984 movie 'The Iceman', and in the 1991 movie 'Terminator 2 - Judgment Day'. A Space Invaders unit appears in the ZZ Top music video, 'Legs'. An upright unit of the Taito release of Space Invaders appears in the Nazareth music video 'Holiday'.

Medium Invader : 20 points. Small Invader : 30 points. UFO : 50 to 300 points. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * When you start the game, your base will be in the bottom left corner of the screen, below the buildings. Your goal is to blast the invaders into dust. Keep in mind that once the invaders make it to either the right or left edge of the screen, they will drop down a row and head in the opposite direction. You should plan your strategy to prevent them from making it to an edge. * A good strategy is to start blasting out the columns on the opposite edge of movement. This is if the invaders are moving right, the start blasting out the leftmost columns first. This way, their return trip is longer and you have more time to deal with them. * Do not attempt to hit the invaders dead center. They fire their laser bombs from dead center and your shots will collide, wasting your shot and letting them move closer to an edge. * Speaking of shots, you can only have one shot out at a time so make it count. * Use your buildings to your advantage. 'Peek' around buildings to get shots and blast a hole in the middle of your buildings to give you protection while you knock out columns of invaders. Keep in mind, this protection will only last about 2 columns before the invaders blow open a hole wide enough to destroy your base. * Every other wave of invaders starts one row lower. Eventually, the waves will start one row above your buildings. Be prepared to do some fast shooting to keep them from getting any lower because once they reach your level, the game is over. * When you are down to taking out the last invader on a wave, that invader will zip across the screen. The strange thing is that the invader travels faster going left to right than going right to left. Keep this in mind when trying to shoot it. * The mystery saucer (or UFO) will appear at random times. If you have a good shot at it, try to hit it. Don't go out of your way, however, to go after it; it isn't worth the risk or time wasted. * The Hidden Message Trick : To get the hidden message, you must do the following : 1) When the demo starts, you need to press the following keys at the same time on the machine : LEFT, RIGHT, FIRE, 1 PLAYER START, 2 PLAYER START. 2) Continue to press these keys rapidly as fast as you can. 3) If you are successful, the message ('TAITO COP') will appear under the high score. * Shot Counting Trick : To get 300 every time you hit the mystery saucer. It is named the 'Furrer Trick' named after Eric Furrer who perfected it. To do this trick, perform the following : 1) Once the new level begins, start counting the shots from your base. 2) When you have fired 22 shots, stop shooting and wait for the mystery saucer. 3) Use the 23rd shot to blast the mystery saucer. 4) After this, start counting shots again, this time count only to 14. 5) Use the 15th shot to hit the mystery saucer. 6) Continue using the 14 shot rule until the level is finished. 7) At the next wave, start with the 22 shot rule, then use the 14 shot rule to finish that wave. 8) Remember, all shots count regardless of hits or misses. * Eric Furrer writes : Here's a variant of the Counting Trick that most people don't know and it's the exact trick I used to play that darn game for 36 hours over 20 years ago. The shot count trick works great for level 1,2,3 but you can't use 22-14-14 counts for mystery ships on the 4th wave because the invaders are too low. If you wait around for the ship after 22-14, then the invaders will be down too quick and you will surely die. Most players at this point do a 22 count and abandon the remaining 14 counts and just clear the board. This slows point accumulation. My solution is simple and the shot count works in progressions as well : On the 4th wave count 22, wait, and clobber the 300. Now instead of counting 14, shoot the 29 invaders in the bottom rows and get the ship. Now the invaders are high enough to do two more 14's. Here's the grid for rolling the machine's score in about 6 minutes by the forth wave using 29. Otherwise, you'd have to wait until the 5th wave. Seems minor, but it saves 30 seconds per roll, which could mean a 30 minute lead against a good player on a head to head speed match, a difference of about 50,000 points! 1st wave - 22, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14 (bonus = 3000 + 990 = 3990 first wave) 2nd wave - 22, 14, 14, 14 (bonus = 1200 + 990 = 2190 total score now = 6180) 3rd wave - 22, 14, 14, 14 (bonus = 1200 + 990 = 2190 total score now = 8370) 4th wave - 22, 29, 14 (bonus = 900 + 990 = 1890 total score now = 0260 or 10260) (if you counted 22, 14, you couldn't get the 3rd 14 without severe risk of death row) 5th wave - 22, 29, 14 (same as 4th wave) 6th wave - 22, 14 7th wave - 22 14 8th wave - 22 9th wave - 22 Then back to the first wave!! - SERIES - 1.

Artwork available BUGS : - During game, when player shoots their laser at the invaders, the sound is way above normal. blkwolf01 (ID 03554) - superinv, invasion: [possible] When set is booted, there is automatically a credit available. Tafoid (ID 02061) WIP : - 0.136u4: Andrew Welburn, Brian Troha and The Dumping Union added clone Alien Invasion. Renamed (alieninv) to (alieninvp2). - 27th February 2010: Smitdogg - Andrew Welburn dumped a Space Invaders bootleg called Alien Invasion. - 0.135u3: f205v and ANY added clones Invasion (bootleg, set 1, normal graphics), (bootleg, set 2, no copyright), (bootleg, set 3, R Z SRL BOLOGNA) and (bootleg, set 4, R Z SRL BOLOGNA). Changed description of clone 'Invasion' to 'Invasion (Sidam)'. - 18th November 2009: f205v dumped Invasion (bootleg 1979). This PCB is manufactured in Italy as a bootleg based on the same hardware design of the classical Sidam PCB. - 3rd October 2009: Smitdogg - Andrew Welburn dumped the Electrocoin version of Super Earth Invasion. Actually he dumped a bunch of stuff that still needs to be looked at but I checked this one out and it drops right over 'searthin' in MAME. - 0.133u2: Team Japump fixed rom names in Space Invaders (CV Version), Space Invaders (SV Version) and Space Invaders (SV Version 2). Added new proms ($0, 400) to clone Space Invaders (CV Version). Added new maincpu roms ($800, 1400, 1800,1c00) to clone Space Invaders (SV Version). Added new maincpu rom ($1400) to clone Space Invaders (SV Version 2). - 0.133u1: Renamed (searthia) to (searthina) and (jspectr2) to (jspecter2). - 0.128u2: More Discrete module optimizations [Derrick Renaud]. This module optimizations speed up Space Invaders 9%. - 0.126u4: Robiza fixed built in red color overlay goes too low and shows on top line of invaders heads in Vista only. - 0.123u1: RansAckeR added DIP locations for clones Space Invaders (TV Version), Space Invaders (CV Version) and Invasion. Also fixed coin2 for clones Super Invaders and Invasion. - 0.117u1: Changed description to 'Space Invaders / Space Invaders M'. - 0.114u2: Derrick Renaud added full discrete emulation of Space Invaders. I think people are going to be too used to the current samples and their relative levels. The new relative levels are determined by the mixing resistors. There are all different versions of the sound board, that all have slightly different sounds/components. This should be the proper Midway sounds. Removed Samples sound (1. - 9.wav) and added Discrete sound in Space Invaders and some clones. - 0.113u2: Shuttle Invader display is shifted off screen now, but the PCB notes confirm that it's a different hardware, so it will need its own driver anyhow [Zsolt Vasvari]. Changed 8080 CPU clock speed to 1996800 Hz, visible area to 224x260 and VSync to 59.541985 Hz in clones sicv, sisv, sisv2, spacewr3, spcewars and darthvdr. - 0.111u4: Zsolt Vasvari and Derrick Renaud added non-memory mapped coin counters to Space Invaders. Changed 8080 CPU clock speed to 1996800 Hz. Added dipswitches 'Unknown' and 3x 'Unused'. - 0.111u2: Derrick Renaud added proper watchdog to Space Invaders. - 0.111u1: Tomasz Slanina added clone Darth Vader (bootleg). Added new samples (11-18.wav) to the Invaders set. Robert added the game toggle switch to Jatre Specter (move right for game B; otherwise it's game A). - 0.109u1: Robert fixed 'Bonus Life' dipswitch in clone Space War Part 3, Super Invaders (EMAG), Super Invaders (bootleg) and Space Invaders (Model Racing). Changed dipswitch 'High Score Preset Mode' to 'Bonus Life' in Space King.

Added Speaker sound (sound\speaker.c) and 'Bonus Life' dipswitch. - 0.105u4: Giuseppe Gorgoglione fixed UI positioning when artwork is enabled (OK screen doesn't fit on the screen, nor does the FPS counter). - 0.96u2: Dave Widel added clone Cosmic Monsters 2. - 0.95u4: David Haywood added clone Space Invaders (Model Racing). - 14th April 2005: f205v and Matteo dumped Space Invaders (Model Racing). - 25th March 2005: Dave Widel - The main difference in Cosmic Monsters II is the mothership drops a row of replacements periodically. Thanks to Art Mallet (http://artsarcadegames.com/index.htm) for loaning the board from one of his machines. Art is the source for Fluke 9010 parts and accessories as well as one of the major sellers of video game parts. - 0.88u2: Derrick Renaud added to DISCRETE_555_ASTABLE an option to disable oscillation if R1 (charge) is out of circuit (will be needed by Invaders). - 0.87u3: MASH added clone Space Invaders Part Four (bootleg 1978). - 0.85u2: Added 'Service Mode' dipswitch to Space Invaders (TV Version). - 0.80u1: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added clone Invasion. David Haywood added clone Super Earth Invasion (set 2). Renamed (earthinv) to (searthin). - 0.75: Nathan Woods fixed a screenshot handling bug that affected Space Invaders. - 0.74u2: Added 'Space Invaders Test ROM' (19??) for region cpu1 ($0). - 30th September 2003: Mike O'Malley submitted an addition of Space Invaders and Galaxian test ROMs. - 0.53: MASH added clones Space Attack (Video Games GMBH 1978) and Jatre Specter (set 2). Renamed (spaceatt) to (spaceat2). - 0.37b3: Major redesign of the artwork support. All the drivers need to do is call overlay_create() or overlay_load() and the rest is handled by the core. Opacity/translucency support in 16-bit mode. Check out Space Invaders for example, the colored strips that make up the overlay is faintly visible under the black areas [Mathis Rosenhauer, Zsolt Vasvari]. - 0.37b2: Added clones Super Invaders (Zenitone-Microsec) and Super Invaders (bootleg). - 2nd May 2001: Lee Taylor added another Space Invaders clone. - 0.37b1: Zsolt Vasvari emulated the red saucer/ufo sound in Space Invaders (SN76477 sound), this sample is no longer needed (the other samples are still required). Added SN76477 sound and removed samples (0., 10-18.wav). - 22nd March 2000: Zsolt Vasvari added SN76477 support to Space Invaders. - 0.36RC2: Renamed (si_tv) to (sitv) and (logitec) to (invaderl). - 0.36b16: Pongkang added clones Space King (Leijac 1978), Space War (Sanritsu) and Space War (Leijac). - 26th January 2000: Pongkang added clone Space King and two different Space War clone games to the 8080bw driver. - 0.36b15: Added clone Jatre Specter (Jatre 1979). - 15th January 2000: Frank Palazzolo added clone Jatre Specter to the 8080bw driver. - 0.36b11: Added clones Space Invaders (Logitec), Space Invaders (SV Version 2) and Space War Part 3 (bootleg). - 0.35b4: Changed description of clone 'Alien Invaders 2' to 'Alien Invasion Part II'. - 0.35b2: Lee Taylor added clones Alien Invaders 2, Space Invaders (CV Version), (SV Version) and (TV Version). - 0.34b8: David Winter added clone Super Invaders. - 0.33b7: Martin Sandiford added Cocktail mode support. - 0.30: Lee Taylor added clone Cosmic Monsters (Universal 1979). Aaron Giles support dirty rectangles in Space Invaders & clones. Samples can also be loaded from a common directory for variations of the same hardware. For example, all Space Invaders clones will load samples from the invaders directory. - 0.21: Minor adjustment to Space Invaders color strips. - 0.20: Dave W. provided a new set of invaders samples. Should be better, though. - 0.18: Hiscore save in Space Invaders (Invaders only - not clones). - 0.16: Tormod Tjaberg provided updated Space Invaders (+clones) drivers which support sound. They use samples, derived from Michael Strutts' emulator. - 0.09: Space Invaders now seems to work correctly. Deluxe version still doesn't work properly. - 0.08: Some support for Space Invaders (+ some clones) but it doesn't work well. Added Space Invaders (Midway 1978), Super Earth Invasion, Space Attack II, Space Invaders Deluxe and Galaxy Wars. Space Invaders information gathered from the Space Invaders Emulator by Michael Strutt. Issues: The color stripes are not placed correctly. Bullets and aliens sometimes stop for an instant Interrupts are not handled well. You should run the game with "-frameskip 1", otherwise it will try to refresh at 120 fps. - 30th October 1996: Dumped Super Earth Invasion (set 1).

0.33b3 [Nicola Salmoria, Michael Strutts, Tormod Tjaberg, Lee Taylor]
0.08 [Nicola Salmoria, Michael Strutts] TODO : - Space Chaser (schaser): 1. The "missile" sound is incorrect. This is how it should be: It should be a constant "klunkity-klunk", and should only be heard while missiles are seen to be moving. When the red missiles speed up, there should be more "klunks per second" with the pitch staying constant. D.R. - Who says? According to the schematic the sounds are correct. Make a video showing otherwise or trace SX0 & SX1 on a real PCB to find the difference. Currently it beeps every time a player eats a dot. Seems right. 2. If "Hard" mode is selected, numerous bugs appear which could be either an emulation fault or a bad rom. Some bugs are: a. Graphic error halfway up the left side, b. Score adds or subtracts random amounts, c. Score not cleared when starting a new game and d. Game begins on the wrong level. - Space War (Sanritsu): I seem to recall that the flashing ufo had its own sample sound, a sort of rattling noise. Unable to find evidence of this (so far). NOTES : - Most of these games do not actually use the MB14241 shifter IC, but instead implement equivalent functionality using a bunch of standard 74XX IC's. - The Amazing Maze Game" on title screen, but manual, flyer, cabinet side art all call it just "Amazing Maze". - Desert Gun was originally named Road Runner. The name was changed when Midway merged with Bally who had a game by the same title. - Space Invaders Deluxe still says Space Invaders Part II, because according to KLOV, Midway was only allowed to make minor modifications of the Taito code. - Games confirmed not use an overlay (pure black and white): 4 Player Bowling WIP : - 0.135u4: Removed includes\8080bw.h. Fabio Priuli added driver data struct to 8080bw driver, made MB14241 Shifter IC a device and moved its source to emu/machine. Updated 8080bw driver accordingly. - 0.129u3: Chowell fixed color RAM length in lupin3, polaris, schaser, schasrcv and sflush - 0.129u1: MooglyGuy added savestate support to all games in the 8080bw driver. - 0.127u6: Couriersud fixed watchdog behaviour in the 8080bw driver verified from schematics (60 Hz signal clocks two LS161. Ripple carry will reset circuit, if LS161 not cleared before). This fixed watchdog reset in invadpt2 and sicv. - 0.127u1: Fabio Priuli fixed input port confusion in the 8080bw driver. Connected AVGDVG status bits via PORT_CUSTOM. - 0.125u2: Added layout\shuttlei.lay. - 0.123u6: RansAckeR added more DIP locations and made use of PORT_INCLUDE to the 8080bw driver. - 0.116u4: Mike Haaland hooked up P1 joystick inputs for P2 in Upright mode in a number of black & white 8080 games. Removed cocktail settings for games where it is not appropriate. - 0.113u2: Removed machine\8080bw.c. Zsolt Vasvari added video timing from the Midway 8080-based b/w driver. This caused the visible areas of most games to change, so they will fail regression. Created a new file for MB14241, which is the shifter IC used by Invaders hardware games. - 0.111u6: Changed visible area to 224x260 and VSync to 59.541985 Hz. - 0.111u4: Major rewrite of the Midway 8080 black & white driver, separating it from the huge 8080bw driver and making the following changes [Zsolt Vasvari, Derrick Renaud]: 'True-to-hardware' emulation of the shifting circuits. Identified and stubbed sound triggers. Fixed dipswitches, where necessary (most games). Added DIP location to all switches. Added watchdog. Added coin counter. Added lamp outputs to Sea Wolf, Guided Missile, Space Encounters, Phantom II and Bowling Alley. Added stereo sound to Gun Fight, Guided Missile and M-4. Partial sound emulation in Tornado Baseball, Boot Hill, Desert Gun, Double Play, Dog Patch and Blue Shark. Properly emulated shifter circuit in Boot Hill. Added gun recoil output to Desert Gun. Added second set of analog controls to Clowns. Fixed analog controls in Dog Patch. Added SN76477 sound effect to Space Encounters.
