just got a standup version of this classic at my local arcade, I got into the lower yellow levels and filled up the high score list. such a spazz fest of alien destruction, I gotta get better at zapping the creatures that make it to the top.
this thing was my first true arcade obsession, I remember coming home from an afterschool afternoon at the arcade and telling my mom about it! if I can have a beer and play this, I support the trendy arcade revival.

Yeah this game was/is amazing although I was never as good at it as I wished I was. My 3 top to bottom high score owning arcade machines were red baron, wizard of war, and qbert.
