Color Space Invaders Barnett & Bank Bros.;Spectral Associates (Spectral Associates)1981[b]Additional external review(s):[/b]
- The Rainbow, Issue #4 (Vol. 01 No. 04 - October 1981), Rating: Very positive ([url=https://archive.org/details/rainbowmagazine-1981-10/page/n7/mode/2up]View[/url])***Color Space Invaders is an exciting, arcade quality game designed especially for the TRS-80 Color Computer. It is written entirely in machine language to obtain the fastest possible action, uses the highest resolution graphics available and does not require Extended Basic.

You must defend the earth from the attacking invaders while dodging their bombs. Just when you think you've got them beaten, they speed up and come at you faster.

Color Space Invaders has all of the features of the arcade game plus two exciting new ones - a mobile defensive shield will help defend you against the invader's bombs and a mystery invader which zooms in and out of hyperspace.

Color Invaders Computerware1982Shoot the invading aliens and occasional UFO for points. Hide behind the destructible shields or fire through them. Aliens reverse direction and advance downward after reaching the edge of the screen.

This is a clone of Atari 2600 Space Invaders (not Arcade Space Invaders). It's got all the same difficulty settings and options, the same 6 columns of aliens that speedup based on home many are left, the same UFO, same scoring, and everything is shaped extremely similar to the Atari 2600 version.
