Space Invaders Speed Run Rules: * Completed on "Normal" Difficulty * Single Session * No special codes Space Invaders originally was an arcade game released in the late 1970s, unleashed to the world and loved by people all over. This game takes the mechanics of the game and packs it in with tons of new stuff to keep it interesting. Normal Difficulty incorporates 8 planets. Each planet starts with 5 waves of aliens, then a bonus UFO shooting level, then 5 more waves. After that you face a giant boss whose life you must drain to nothing. After that you move on to the next planet. Each planet (after Pluto) also features an "alien of the day" that you see only on that planet. Each one has a different appearance, attack, and gives you a different special weapon. Some are quite stupid (like the boomerang attack on Saturn) while others rock your socks (like Tank Kamikaze on Venus). After beating each boss you receive a time for that planet (so loading times are not included). Occasionally the game lists a time as X:X. If the level is completed with a 0 in the ten-second digit, it doesn't display it. It does if it's in the seconds' digit (Neptune was 4:20 which is displayed in full). After beating the game on Normal, what you unlock is the original black-and-white Space Invaders. Listings after planet name were the planet's time and hit percentage. Percentages over 100% are <b>...</b>
