Re: Taito Invades! Crack

There is a tactic in space invaders called the 'wall of death' (also called the 'death row'). At a very specific time in the game, the player's laser base seems to become impervious to the invaders' missiles! When a line of invaders is on the second to last row (the one before they "invade") their missiles cannot harm the player's base. Originally it was assumed to be a bug in the program, but I am fairly sure it was a deliberate feature (maybe the first video game "easter eggs"). Either way, it is a vital feature of the game that can be exploited to reach level 10 and beyond. Shoot the invaders to leave a formation similar to the one in the screen shots below. This is the classic 5 + 1 formation (you can use this technique on almost every board). The trick is to travel with the invades when the last row is hurtling across the screen, shooting them in turn from right to left and hitting the last one just before it overtakes you. Of course, if you miss him you lose a life (but that is the risk you take).
