Hi Tom.
Wow! I bet original space invaders on a 78 inch projector was cool. I
currently have my snes, Pc and gamecube plugged into a 42 inch flatscreen,
which is pretty awsome after years of playing on standard sized tv screens,
but I'm still jealous! :D.
Back when we had the atari 2600 we were on a 15 inch tv, so no, I don't
imagine the invaders were very clear.
I also however do wonder if there was a different version of space invaders.
The one we had on the Atari 2600 had the invaders in rows and columns, but
if I remember rightly the invaders were yellow, and the shields between you
and them were orange while your gun was green. it also had a two player
option with one green gun and one purple gun.
I have played a version with red invaders and blue shields on one of those
multi game consoles that have hundreds of games on one machine and you just
plug into the tv.
I suppose though just like Packman and several other games at the time,
there were various different versions of space invaders around and it's
entirely possible that the first one I played wasn't the original.
All the best,
Dark.
