About

TV Vader is a dedicated console playing a variant of Space Invaders. The player controls a tank at the bottom of the screen and can move left and right with a paddle on the console itself. The player can fire at aliens. Unlike the Arcade original, only a single line of aliens is shown on screen. Four bunkers give the player some safe space at the start, but they are gradually destroyed when hit by alien fire. A UFO that periodically flies horizontally at the top of the screen can be hit for bonus points. The dedicated console version achieved color through a transparent overlay for the television screen.
