Cool channel. I am now subscribed (I just found it). I am trying to find out if this was actually licensed. I am getting ready to do a bunch of arcade ports at home for the Atari 8bit computer and I wanted to find out the licensing status of this game. I am trying to do classic videogame and tabletop game stuff for my channel (from a different perspective).

@atarileaf I'll show it her when she wakes up in the morning, she's collapsed through too much gin the old tart :o)
-
@RetroGamerVX You're welcome. I hope the Queen enjoys it as well :)
-
@OldSchoolNYCGamer Thanks Sid. Its a fantastic port. :)
-
A brilliant review there, I'd never seen that 8 bit version before. Thanks for doing this Atari :o)
-
@atarileaf My dad had a 5200 when i was litle but we stoped uing it because the controllers kept breaking. LOL i love the 520 but the darn controllers wont ever last
-
This is definatley a step up from the 5200 / XL version of this classic, well done Jeremy. = )
-
@SteveBenway I think you'd love it Steve.
-
@nexus000111 Yep, a great sequel maintains the feel of the original while adding some interesting new elements without distracting from the core gameplay :)
-
@TheSuperGamePuggBros LOL, yes the black and white is classic. However, I think technically this version was black and white in the arcade. I think it was a screen overlay that they used to color the different rows of aliens :)
-
@waspspray Do you have a 5200 Mitch? Just wondering how you find the controls? One of the reasons I went with the 8-bit Atari computers over the 5200 was the controllers and how easily they break.

@jango1968 Thanks very much :)
-
@thomas3120 Thanks Thomas. Co-op would be fantastic in this game :)
-
@TheAtariJunkie Its very weird that this unknown "Roklan" company would make such a good version of Space Invaders. I have a copy of Gorf that they did as well. Unfortunately, there is something in the timing in the game that makes it not work in an 800XL. Apparently you need a regular 400 or 800 to play it. I'd love to get an Atari 800. :)
-
@RPKGameVids Thanks very much :)
-
@Bakemon13 I agree, a two player co-op mode would be the icing on the cake :)
-
@revolutionactiondk Thanks very much. I appreciate it :)
-
@kreeboy411 When you get one of these systems I think it'll become a favorite. Get an 800XL if you can, they're cheap and very well built. :)
-
@MAMECADE Thanks my friend :)
-
@roberthurstrius Yes I was originally unfamiliar with this version as well and had to do some research before making the video. I had forgotten that there was a Space Invaders Deluxe in the arcades :)
