Space Invaders JS
Insert a coin and step up to the cabinet.
This is an unofficial browser port of Taito's 1978 Space Invaders. It is not an emulator, nor a remake inspired by the original: each routine of the arcade program was rewritten in TypeScript from the disassembly, then checked frame by frame against MAME. The invaders march, speed up and fire exactly as they did in the arcades, down to the saucer timing and the attract-mode demo.
