Space Invaders 2 (C64)
A downloadable game
Taito released the original Space Invaders arcade game in 1978, and as a high school student Satoshi Matsuoka created a masterpiece replica of Space Invaders for the Commodore PET in 1980.
Taito updated the original arcade game in 1979 with the release of Space Invaders Part II. The updated game featured more aliens, spawning aliens and different UFOs.
This is an updated version of Professor Matsuoka's original PET game that more closely matches the gameplay of Taito's 1979 updated Part II version. Originally for the PET/CBM Series of computers, and now available on C64 with this port by Milasoft.

Hi! I'm just wondering if this is supposed to support joysticks. I did try it with no luck EXCEPT that if I pushed the stick down-and-left or pushed the P1 or P2 buttons on the stick, the ship would fire. That may just be a fluke, but I figured I'd ask. (The stick does work with VICE in other C64 games such as Lode Runner.)
The port to C64 doesn't work with joysticks (the original game for the PET didn't have joystick control because the PET didn't have standard joysticks). It only works coincidentally because some of the electronics on joystick 1 on C64 are connected to the keyboard...
Great game, thanks. It is a lot harder when aliens spawning. I added it to my new video with other recently released games. I hope you like.
Great game, thanks.
Thank you! Space Invaders 2 (2025, Jimbo)
very good
This is the 3rd Space Invaders for the C64 now. Is it really needed? I don't think so. But hey, the more the merrier o_O ...
Very nice game!
Thanks! Good playing.
