It's not as if we have hardware that allows for developers to let their wildest imaginations run riot and create games like we've never seen before, or anything. Anyway, this is the updated version of Taito's classic coin-op, released in an easily digestible N64 format. Should they make contact with the ground the game is over and we can only presume they then take over the entire world. Well, of course, the graphics have been enhanced greatly - a good thing considering that the original's visuals were so basic that many machines had cellophane taped to the monitor to simulate color. Sprites have given way to richly animated polygonal characters and explosions, even though the gameplay is still sternly two dimensional.
Backgrounds are no quite varied, with planets and moons floating in the previously barren void.
All in all, it looks quite cool, especially when the rather evil looking boss Invaders appear. New weapons make an appearance after shooting Invaders of the same color in a series, and using these weapons is the key to racking up points and clearing enemy waves quickly and easily.
