    Return of the Invaders © 1985 Taito Corp.

    A full colour update of the legendary original; featuring challenge stages and circling aliens. Return of the Invaders, while playable enough in its own right, would be vastly improved upon by its sequel, "Super Space Invaders '91", released five years' later.

    TRIVIA
    Return of the Invaders was released in September 1985.

    Some outsourcing works for this game were done by UPL and Comix (trigger by little codebase change, their Japanese firm members are show via the screen).

    The development name of the game was "Space Invaders Part 3". Return of The Invaders was developed by UPL for Taito. For a small softco like UPL, working on the Space Invaders franchise was a great opportunity to gain notoriety within the videogame industry. Unfortunately, Taito neglected to mention UPL in the finished game.
