Color FX Space Invaders

Action1999

Description

Color FX Space Invaders is a handheld version of Space Invaders. As with the original game, the player is asked to shoot down aliens that move back and forth. The player will lose a life if the aliens hit them with a shot, and will lose the game if the aliens reach the ground. Barriers will stop shots, but will stop the player's shots as well. Unusually, in this release the game field is split in half, left and right, and only one half is shown at a time. The player can move between the halves at will.

Some models of this game use the "Color FX" system, where the LCD is reflected against a mirror. This is done to use room light to backlight the LCD; the top of the LCD section is translucent. Other models are just black and white, without backlighting, but with the same LCD and gameplay.
