Invaders! Possibly From Space! Released!

Seven months after we originally featured the game, Shinobi has finally released Invaders! Possibly from Space!, the Space Invaders clone modeled after the epic shoot'em up battle in Futurama's "Anthology of Interest II" episode.

The free PC game is a near-perfect re-creation of the "Raiders of the Lost Arcade" scene, featuring identical enemy Nintendian ships, Rush's "Tom Sawyer" soundtrack, and even sound bites from the episode. Shinobi also added new elements not shown in the cartoon, like power-ups, bombs, and bosses (the first boss appears on level 31).

Grab it before someone (e.g. Fox, Futurama, Rush, and probably a dozen other groups) sends a cease and desist order to knock this game off the internet!
