Space Invaders helped action games become the dominant genre in arcades and on consoles. [98] Guinness World Records considered Space Invaders one of the most successful arcade shooting games by 2008. [76] In describing it as a "seminal arcade classic", IGN listed it as the number eight "classic shoot 'em up". [99] Space Invaders set the template for the shoot 'em up genre. [100] Its worldwide success created a demand for a wide variety of science fiction games, inspiring the development of arcade games, such as Atari's Asteroids, [101] Williams Electronics' Defender, and Namco's Galaxian and Galaga, which were modeled after Space Invaders ' gameplay and design. [102] [103] This influence could be said to extend to most shooting games released to the present day, [28] including first-person shooters (FPS) such as Wolfenstein, [104] [105] Doom, [106] Halo [107] and Call of Duty. [108] Space Invaders also influenced other genres, including maze games such as Sega/ Gremlin's Head On (1979) which adopted the concept of "going round after round" instead of a timer, [78] and early computer dungeon crawl games such as Dungeons of Daggorath, which used similar heartbeat sounds to indicate player health.

Space Invaders Game History To get straight to the point Space Invaders upon its release became one of the most influential video games of all time. In Japan the game became so popular that certain arcades contained only Space Invader gaming cabinets. The game was blamed for the Yen shortage, and on a more serious note also blamed for the increase in youth crime of the era. This was because it was believed to be responsible for teenagers stealing to have money for their daily fix of the Space Invader experience. Hahn, Duane Alan.
