Classic Game Room HD reviews SPACE INVADERS for Atari 5200 from 1982. Originally created by Taito for the arcades in 1978, Space Invaders sees a unique translation for the Atari 5200 with many changes from the Atari 2600 version and original arcade coin-op. This CGRHD review has gameplay footage from Space Invaders for Atari 5200 showing the different varieties of aliens and colorful enemies that invade you from space, or invade your space... whatever. An excellent game somewhat spoiled by the uniquely awful Atari 5200 analog non self centering controller, Space Invaders packs hours of challenging game play as well as 12 different settings / difficulty levels.
