CHAMP Invaders is a 1997 action-shooter for DOS, developed by ChamProgramming as part of their celebrated line of arcade remakes. It is a highly faithful adaptation of the iconic Space Invaders, bringing the classic alien-blasting gameplay to PC. The game features a “Classic” mode that meticulously recreates the original arcade experience, alongside an enhanced “CHAMP” mode that introduces updated VGA graphics, new enemy types, and power-ups while retaining the familiar core loop.
How to play
Your objective is to destroy descending waves of alien invaders before they reach the bottom of the screen. Use the left and right arrow keys to move your laser cannon, and press the Spacebar to fire. You can use the destructible green shields for temporary cover against enemy projectiles. In the browser, you can press Alt + Enter to toggle full screen.
Tips
- Focus on destroying the columns of aliens at the far left and right edges first. This narrows their formation, which increases the time it takes for them to cross the screen and drop down a row.
- Keep an eye out for the red mystery saucer that occasionally flies across the top of the screen; shooting it awards significant bonus points.
- Remember that your shields take damage from both enemy fire and your own shots, so position yourself carefully when returning fire.
