Video Game in episode 2


Does anyone know the name of the Space Invaders clone that the kids are playing on the Atari computer at the end of episode 2?

I don't know the name of it but when Matthew referred to it as a 'new video game' that his mate Colin was going to show him, I laughed. No way was any version of Space Invaders new in 1984 LOL.

It was the Atari 800 version of Space Invaders. Colin's computer was an Atari 800. The game wasn't new itself, it was probably just new to the children. Maybe Colin had only recently acquired his computer.
