Why Space Invaders Still Shines?

Since its first release in 1978, Space Invaders has remained a global gaming symbol. Its simple design and thrilling challenge helped make video games popular worldwide.

Players control a cannon to shoot descending aliens before they reach the ground, while hiding behind destructible barriers for protection.

The Google version keeps that original concept but adds colorful letters as shields, making the gameplay fresh and familiar at the same time.
