CURIOSITÀ
Return of the Invaders è stato rilasciato nel Settembre 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.
