Invasion of the Body Snatchas! is a ZX Spectrum video game developed and released by Crystal Computing in 1984.
"At last! A version as fast and furious and as frustratingly addictive as the
arcade original. Landers, Mutants, Bombers, Pods, Swarmers and much much more
combine to produce the ultimate space game!"[1]
The Game
"This is a clone of defender and features Landers, Bombers, Mutants, Swarmers and Pods. There is an excellent radar screen, one you can really use for lining up shots, and spectacular explosion graphics. Sadly unless you own a Fuller Box, the game is totally silent. As usual with Defender games, there is not much colour, but the graphics are fast and smooth."[2]
