About Halloween Invaders

This is a variation of Space Invaders, the classic Atari game programmed by Rick Maurer for the Atari 2600. It can be downloaded and played on any Emulator. It is a hack of the original, written just for fun.

In this game, enemies from a haunted planet are threatening the earth. Your objective is to destroy them by firing your electric light beams. You must wipe out the invaders either before they reach the earth (bottom of the screen), or before they hit you three times with their laser beams.

Your long-term objective is to score as many points as possible. Points are scored each time you hit one of the invaders. They are worth different amounts of points, depending on their initial position on the screen.

If you destroy all the invaders before they reach the earth, a new set of invaders will appear on the screen. Each time the invaders are reset on the screen they will start from a position closer to the earth until they reach the closest position possible.
