Space Invaders Extreme Runs Wild On PC This February

Remember Space Invaders? It was a huge arcade hit in the 70's, and the publishers at Taito have been riding its success since with a number of sequels and inspired spin-offs. And next month, you'll be able to play one of its best variations to date.

Degica Games announced today that they will be publishing Space Invaders Extreme on PC starting on February 12. The game usually sells for $19.99, but it'll be available for ten percent off for a limited time during its launch.

If the name sounds familiar, it's because Extreme originally released for Xbox 360 a few years back, and Degica, a company that specializes in re-releasing "shmup" games and other arcade titles, felt it was a perfect fit for the Steam marketplace.

Here are the features for the game, and you can check out the trailer above to see it in action. This isn't your typical Space Invaders!
