DO YOU REMEMBER?

Aliens from a distant world are coming to Earth and plan to take over the Amiga in Amoeba Invaders, a freeware clone of

Space Invaders released by the rather grandly-titled Latenight Developments Corporation in 1991.

There aren’t any enhancements to the original, so the intruders trudge back and forth across the screen and constantly pepper the player’s turret and the shields used as cover with bullets. As always, reducing the number of attackers will make the remaining ones speed up and there is a UFO which gives a score bonus if shot.

Unusually, this is an action game which was written to multitask, so Workbench programs can continue running in the background while the assault is repelled. Head to Kikstart.eu/amoeba-amiga if you’re interested in blasting some aliens.

[Amiga] Picking off the invaders, one shot at a time. [Amiga] Here’s a familiar sight, just the one straggler remaining. Shoot it down!
