Game Introduction

This game is essentially a software hack of Taito/Midway Space Invaders with different characters but the same theme. Much of the attract mode is unmodified (including the upside 'Y' sequence) and "Space Invaders" replaced with "Super Earth Invasion" in a blocky font. All references to Midway and/or Taito have been removed.
