Space Invaders (PS1) Expert Difficulty (

[@ProphecyPhrase]

This is the best Space Invaders game with awesome music, a great variety of aliens and power-ups that rock. XD

[@UniversalMan135]

I remember playing this game when I was little. Me and my brother played this game like crazy over and over again. Those were the good old days.

[@mannydwyer765]

yeah same here i used to play with my dad. good memories

[@wilthomas]

I remember buying this for $20 at Circuit City in 1998, I think. It was a pretty good remake of the original, I thought.

[@waterdroplet369]

Yes it was

[@garuga0777]

when i was little, we called the first boss the stapler

[@oh_heeeyyy]

i remember this game!! good times back in the day

[@StarDev94]

Earth's boss is the only boss that has the nerve to to tear off a chunk of a building and then throw it at you! This is demonstrated at 41:24!

[@OffTopic123]

its actualy a whole building

[@StarDev94]

OffTopic123 When I saw that building come down towards me, it became quite clear to me that Earth's boss is also trying to destroy the city!

[@DigitalRRS]

It's funny how this game can compete with modern AAA games today, and this came out in 1999.

[@Xxrandomk1dxX]

i used to play this game every time my cousin came over when i was 4, im 13 now, i look back and see how much games have changed

[@Imagine727]

This game is the embodiment of my childhood

[@theqman24]

my older cousins and brother playing PS1 at 11:00 in the night at age 6? So many memories from this.

[@zeldaaddict00]

ok thanks for informing me! i am very grateful!

[@OODDLuke]

I still remember playing this one, it was always awesome, no matter how old it is :3

[@mpepp9]

Game of my childhood :)

[@HomeStyleE123]

you are so pro that im freaking out because you are so damn epic

[@jakebailey1636]

Considering how much they added compared to the base game (i.e a SHITLOAD) this is awesome. I remember playing it so well though fuck the Earth boss :V that thing suuuuuuuucked and I don't think I ever beat it without at least one death

[@ATPillz]

the music was banging on this game

[@Thomas11611]

this is my childhood favorite. Seriously man, where can I get this game again.

[@SirVG]

@superrobertking18 Yes. On Normal, the game plays from Pluto to Earth, while Expert and Maniacal difficulties plays Mercury and Alien World after that.

[@parkersmixtape3127]

i miss this game

[@Syondi]

nostalgic as hell,..

[@Alexas7507]

This is such an awesome game it just has this awesome vibe around it. And music=awesome

[@SirVG]

@TheKingWerwer Expert adds 2 more worlds and I think picks up the speed of the aliens a little bit. Then when you beat Expert, you unlock Maniacal, which REALLY amps up the speed of everything (it plays all of the worlds in Expert difficulty).

[@DannyDampige]

I like the fact you did expert.

[@leoman2k8]

mega alien pwnage i salute you

[@Flora_Pinky]

I love the music!

[@Ansem119]

the bosses were freakin scared me in this game when i was like 6

[@Slyfoxis]

SirVG, i only use that when my bros wanna play for fun, or when they wanna see which boss is their favorite, and oh i didn't know it was circle :O

[@SirVG]

@Arzaker I think it was more of a case that I did damage so fast, the meter couldn't keep up and when its life hit 0 (even though the meter says otherwise) it dies.

[@arcuz7862]

OMG the nostalgia. :O

[@SirVG]

I have it as well, but haven't gotten to play very much of that version.

[@SirVG]

@cakesonme818 nope. This is for Playstation. If you want to find it, I'm sure Amazon or eBay has some copies.

[@DakDarklighter]

I always loved the music in this game, especially mars. I should check if you can turn sfx off and leave music on, I would be willing to rip the music.

[@MLAProductions64]

Am I the only one in the world who actually still has the disc for this game? Oh, and plus... THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!

[@jake90009]

My niece and I defeated the Neptune boss in 6 seconds. Both players have to have double shoot and you just spam shoot the boss until it's dead. Don't even give it a chance. lol

[@olegnurpeisov5476]

"This run is dedicated to all those who perished in 1978."hahahha

[@Jattbath]

can you please record 3 minutes of the menu music that starts from 00:05 to 00:11. i love that sound.

[@SirVG]

First planet, regardless of difficulty. This game came out before it was dwarfed.

[@wiskyBOY123]

this was the first game that I completed entirely when i was a kiddo :D fun fun game :)

[@BushidoRyu]

i remember as a kid i tried to play with my dad but he kinda wasnt too good...so when he would lose he cuss me out and tell me to get out the room...

[@SirVG]

To my recollection, it's circle. But level select codes are cheats in a sense, for the purposes of speed running. So thus they aren't allowed and not used.

[@zeldaaddict00]

cool, sounds interesting... i've never tried it tbh but i'd like to does it work well?

[@raiders7528]

memories~~~ now the PS4 is here!!!!!!

[@DannyDampige]

41:00 - The hardest boss in the game.

[@mpepp9]

So much fun 2 player

[@SirVG]

@Jattbath Music. I don't have any soundtrack info from this game.

[@Shima33BB]

@SirVG I'll go with you.

[@brvan]

The Best power up IMO is the Lazer Cannon in Uranus

[@paradisecityX0]

Which city does the Earth Level take place? My guess would either be Mexico City, Tokyo... a foreign city for sure but.....

[@Slyfoxis]

hey did you also know at start if you press square button you can go to any level you want to?

[@DakDarklighter]

I meant Saturn, not Mars.

[@TheKingWerwer]

omg your a hardened space invaders player i want to be like you but whats the difference between the difficulties

[@Thomas11611]

thankyou

[@tobiaslichtenstein]

Mars boss is the absolute worst. I could never beat those guys on my own when I was a kid

[@angelprincessmitia]

Me and my dad love playing this game..=D

[@DBZdude95]

i remember this game good times me and my best mate trying to complete it we finaly did it at 1 point lol :D

[@starboy35tcoos]

I HATED Earth's boss when I was younger....

[@Sparkz1607]

So many memories... ;~; Favorite Music: Pluto Favorite Special Weapon: Silo Attack (Mercury) Favorite Boss: Alien Home World's Boss

[@SirVG]

@josipbabok2 I don't have any plans on doing Maniacal difficulty. I'd like to do a 2P Normal & 2P Expert someday though, but I need to find somebody who would work on this with me.

[@nate18871]

Were can i download this i played it like 10 years ago this game was the shits looool

[@brvan]

@SirVG Can you do Maniacal?

[@jake90009]

Difficulty Scale: Very Easy | Easy | Somewhat Easy | Medium | Somewhat Hard | Hard | Very Hard | Extremely Hard I'm going to give each boss a difficulty: Crusher (Pluto Boss): Somewhat Easy Shell (Neptune Boss): Medium Rotator (Uranus Boss): Variable Circle (Saturn Boss): Somewhat Easy Turret (Jupiter Boss): Somewhat Hard Pulse (Mars Boss): Very Hard Splitter (Venus Boss): ??? Golem (Earth Boss): ??? Asteroids (Mercury Boss): ??? Edit: When I edit this, I will be editing the difficulty.

[@brvan]

@Jattbath Look up title screen music from space invaders it might have it

[@SirVG]

@Noblestudioz While I own it, I haven't gotten to play very much of it. So I can't really answer that question at this point in time, sorry.

[@heatmojo]

The fastest time I've beaten this game was 42:16, but according to SpeedDemosArchive, the PC version doesn't count for some reason. Anyway, what would I have to do to have my Speedrun completely legit by the rules?

[@KirkLX]

final boss was coolest XD

[@SirVG]

It's just called "Space Invaders". The Japanese version is called "Space Invaders X".

[@SirVG]

As long as you get good media, the chipped PS2 will play it. I believe you can also play it on the PS1 if you get swap magic, but not sure on that one. I also think that ePSXe can play it (emulator on PC).

[@Thomas11611]

Pluto was on this game was it? :)

[@superrobertking18]

do you have to be on expert to get past Earth? Because mine stopped at Earth

[@Flora_Pinky]

I really want the soundtrack!

[@SellawEvets]

How did you get Mercury and Alien World levels? I have the PS1 game and it ends after you complete the Earth level.

[@PenguinCOD]

Steve Walles did u have it on expert difficulty

[@SellawEvets]

I had no idea you could adjust the difficulty.

[@PenguinCOD]

Steve Walles if you go to options at the main menu, its there, you can change it between normal and expert, expert gets you to mercury and alien world.

[@SellawEvets]

Okay, thank you PenguinCOD.

[@SudzySounds]

I member this game.

[@nthegoalie73]

No not yet. Hopefully soon

[@mpepp9]

What happened to Venus?

[@DBZdude95]

true the first boss looks like a chiken nugget

[@zisoul]

ACTIVISION should have made a part 2 of this game for ps1&2,but they never did. I like the updated verson of this game cause it has the classic game on as well. I baught this over a decade ago when it fist was released. It suscks that the dips at ACTIVISION did not make a part 2 of this game.Cause now this updated verson is now Classic,so is the updated verson of ASTEROIDS.

[@Jattbath]

what is the music called that is from 00:05 to 00:11

[@dontpanicblink]

no I have it too but cant find the disc but have the box

[@SirVG]

Though you DO realize this is NOT the GBA version, right?

[@Shima33BB]

@meeko66 I once ended with 23 lives. On MANIACAL.

[@SophiaXiaoyuAralaCran]

Someone should do a Sound rip of the OST from this version... I love it, but the PS2 is malfunctioning....

[@nightworrior666]

yes you just have to play on expert

[@Shadowsonic6666]

My friends and I always died on mars :(

[@kistenknacker44]

the mars level is the hardest level i think ;D

[@Jaygamer553]

Is this on NTSC or PAL?

[@SirVG]

Jaygamer553 NTSC, as I'm from the US. There's very few games I run that are PAL. About all I've done that's PAL-60 is Disaster: Day of Crisis and Xenoblade Chronicles.

[@alfyo92]

Where can I download this game 4 Ps1??

[@tunasled]

Me too.

[@SirVG]

Nope. Still have mine.

[@Dethorath]

can some one post the mars music? (its catchy lol)

[@Slyfoxis]

used to play this game all day, just because it made older space invaders look like poo

[@jehovahsthickness3351]

Is this game on the ps1 a 2 player game like the pc version?

[@SirVG]

Yep!

[@jehovahsthickness3351]

Awesome! I'm definitely getting it!

[@Cade_The_Squirrel]

+Jason Michonski PC version?! I thought this was PS exclusive O_O

[@jehovahsthickness3351]

Yep, lol. This game is on PC, PS1, and the 64.

[@Cade_The_Squirrel]

Jason Michonski Wow, I never knew O_O I just downloaded the PC version and it's just like the PS1 version :D it's a little ropey cos it's only 640x480 16-Bit, but nothing forcing some anti aliasing through my Nvidia Panel can't fix :3

[@SirVG]

@Uhajo Oh come on! Alien World is the best music EVAR!!!!!!11111onetyone

[@nthegoalie73]

I want this on PSN

[@LoLprod93]

Salut Onche. :jtm:

[@SirVG]

Director account.

[@Y00bi]

lol it was all just a game of space invaders... in the game of space invaders O_O;

[@SirVG]

Nah. Expert isn't that much harder then Normal. Now if you were to see videos of Maniacal difficulty, then you could scream that. Maybe.

[@Adrot]

Torrent

[@ballafasho332]

PlayStation very quite a bit easier than the N64 version .. The bosses die very easy and move slower on here

[@Shima33BB]

@cakesonme818 Get a ROM.
