Return of the Invaders (Video Dens bootleg, without MCU) — About this game
Return of the Invaders (Video Dens bootleg, without MCU) is an exact registered version in this game family. Return of the Invaders changes stationary alien rows into formations that circle, dive after being hit and reflect shots. Bonus stages interrupt ordinary waves, while overhead UFOs can release weapon upgrades when hit away from their centre. Watch the formation pattern before firing rapidly, keep clear of reflected shots, and collect a released upgrade before the next attack closes in. Bootleg or revision-specific graphics, timing, scoring and patterns are not inferred where the registration does not document them.
