SPACE INVADERS
FUKKATSU NO HI

So it's October and the spooky games left for Halloween aren't that great so now it's ALIENS! So here we are with Space Invaders: Fukkatsu no Hi ("Space Invaders: Day of Resurrection").  It is a PC Engine exclusive variant of Taito's classic. This has an "original mode", which plays identically to the original Arcade version and includes a hidden setting that plays the game in black and white monochrome, Fukkatsu no Hi also includes a "Space Invaders Plus" mode which includes more contemporary 16-bit graphics and power-ups earned from destroying UFOs. The player's ship can also take several hits before being destroyed, but generally has less cover to hide behind. Time to kill some Aliens. Enjoy!

Got a lot of games in while at Linccon. It has some charm and when you get into a rhythm of shooting, you can tear through the early levels. Does anyone have ideas on how the level progression works? I seem to jump between different ones and wonder if it's random or based on score or time to beat levels.

Wooo LincCon mention! Yeah we played a bit, and sadly I'm not great at it...
