Classic Game Room HD - ALIEN INVADERS PLUS! on Magnavox O2

Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of ALIEN INVADERS PLUS! for the Magnavox Odyssey 2 video game console. Also known as the Philips Videopac G7000, this classic retro arcade style old school game system has some real gems. Is Alien Invaders Plus one of them? At first glance this game looks a lot like Space Invaders, the 1980's arcade classic, and made even more popular on the Atari 2600. It's got a lot in common with Space Invaders and Demon Attack, but is also very different. Sure you shoot aliens with laser beams and stuff like that, but the scoring is different, the gameplay and footage are different, the graphics are a bit sharper but other things aren't as good... basically it's different. A worthy old school classic video game though and one to add to your Magnavox Odyssey 2 collection if you have one. This game is not available on any other game consoles, like Colecovision, Atari 7800, Wii, Xbox 360 XBLA or Playstation 3 PS3. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360.

I saw a Magnavox O2 the other day at that nearby overpriced game store I've referred to in the past, and it was easily 50 dollars or more, I don't remember off hand. How much did you acquire yours for, Mark?

[InecomCompany]

$25 from ebay, but it was $15 to ship it, so $40 total. It also came with 3 games. -CGRHD

The pink, snake tentacle-wielding, Boston spaceship comes down to attack you. Lol, great review Mark, with just enough humor =P Keep 'em comin' with those O2s

I am sooo happy today...my mom brought home ody2 games when she got home from work. Though, I don't have an Odyssey2 game sytem yet...but they're awesome because they are all boxed, all 6. One of them is this game =D. I love the ody2 logos too!

First impression: Psh, this is just a Space Invaders clone. Probably sucks.

5 minutes in: This game looks more fun than Space Invaders.

box art is kickass

Alien Invaders was on the Emerson Arcadia 2001 system. There was also a hand held unit which is really awesome as well.

On first glance I was ready to write this off as just another invaders clone, but when you start to think about it, the developers did some pretty interesting things here.

I mean, scoring you Vs the AI, Shields that become lives, an alien opponent that comes down and duels you face to face at the end to a battle... that's pretty wild.

Two thumbs up for taking some chances with the game design!

can you destroy the green circles?

WHY DOES EVERY GAME END IN A !!!

@InecomCompany To get them in the UK it's about £150 :(
