Official description

Published in the book The Giant Book Of Games For Your BBC Micro from Fontana Publishing, which contains the following description:

Here is a complete implementation of space invaders. Even though it is written in BASIC, and uses MODE 7 graphics, you'll be amazed to see how faithful it is to the arcade original.
Full instructions are included in the game, which was written by Mark Bucknell. There are a number of options you can trigger, such as 'freeze/unfreeze' and turning the sound on or off. The SHIFT key is used to fire.
