On Broadway, when an old show is restaged, it is called a ‘Revival’ as Hedwig and the Angry Inch or Of Mice and Men. What does one call a reworking of a classic video game; a video game that arguably did much to influence the video game industry and gaming during the late 1970’s through 80’s?
Whatever term we eventually settle upon, Kosmic Revenge by ‘Real Tech VR, fits that description. That is what this well-crafted app is, a re-introduction of the great, 1978 video arcade game, Space Invaders as conceived by the brilliant Tomohiro Nishikado and with a touch of the 1979 video arcade game, Asteroids thrown in for a double dose of nostalgia and entertainment. The major difference I noticed was that when shooting at the ‘aliens’ and I would hit my own fortifications during the fury of battle, there was no damage to my barriers unlike the original game where one could destroy all of one’s protection.
