Space Invaders The Invaders

Just playing on my lovely Turnarcade cabinet and enjoying Space Invaders.

Back in the day, I remember one version which I think was called The Invaders, not Space Invaders, and the wonderful thing was that the invaders went back up a good few rows for their start point once five screens had been cleared.

But my Turnarcade machine does not seem to have the Zaccaria version. Was it the only one that saw the invaders go back up a few rows at a certain point?

Thanks as ever

I'm not really "up" on my Space Invaders lore, but you could try looking on a site like this one...

I've found that invaluable over the years! You can search by name for pretty much any arcade game and it'll give you all the information it has. It's not been updated in ages though and it's not always been user friendly at times, but it's been my "got" sorce for information for years :)

I used to see `The Invaders` quite a lot,i still enjoy the variations of S.I games like Space Intruders,Golden Invaders and Super Earth Invasion.Invaders revenge is an unusual one where they run down screen and steal your ammo.
