Diana Games Through Time #3 - Space Invaders (1980)
563As we enter the 80's with Space Invaders on the Commodore PET, it appears we finally have a game where Diana gets to interact with graphics, but... think again. This game is fully text based but uses a font known as "PETSCII" which has text charactors that, when put together, appear to actually be sprites. But no, there are no sprites in this game... It's fully text based but super clever!
In each episode of Diana Games Through Time we will play one PC game from each year in chronological order starting from 1978. We will watch as black and white text on a screen turns into millions of colours in a 3d expansive living and breathing universe. Look forward to a new episode every friday in this 42 episode series!
