Space Invaders

This was my attempt at bringing the spirit of the arcade artwork home to the 2600. I couldn't do much with the top portion near the scores because I didn't want to obstruct the path of the mothership. The backdrop image really lends itself well to giving that sense of immersion. The colors also work really well together. I am especially proud of this one, even if it is less elaborate that some of the others. Seeing it loaded up on my HD set always makes me smile. My pattern is to take out the first two invaders in every column heading right, pick off a couple on my way back left, wipe out the first column, perhaps the second depending on who is firing, leave eight on the screen so I can keep picking off motherships as long as possible, and then dispense the rest freestyle. Still, I can't seem to break 10,000. Oh well, at least it's fun to try.
