There is a bonus game hidden on both the disk and the tape version.

To find the bonus game on the disk original. Insert side 2 of the disk and type in LOAD "END", 8 and then type RUN.

The bonus game is also on the tape version. If you complete level 5 of the game, there is actually extra stream of loading data after the final level. Unlocking it is the hard part!

Not bad at all, but check out Mega Starforce instead, better backdrops and awesome music!

Didn't really like this game at the time and I haven't changed my mind. As has been mentioned, the backdrops, whilst quite nice, often cluttered up the playing field and make theings a tad difficult to see.

I just love space invaders, since the original. Actually this game is not like the original arcade conversion of Super Space Invaders 91, but who cares. This was one hell of a blast from the past.

I like the arcade version, but sometimes the backdrop make the gameplay hard to see on this version.

Colourful backdrops, but sprites only in one colour? Anyway this Space Invaders-Clone was nice to play. It was difficult, wasn't it? 9/10

It was never going to be able to copy the graphics from the arcade version, but a great game, with 5 nasty bosses, and an ending on Level 50, unheard of in a Space Invaders game!
