Space War (Leijac)

Released in December 1979 by Konami (then Leijac), Space Laser is an essential shooting game in the history of the "Invader" boom that once became a social phenomenon. Players control a cannon and aim to annihilate the 55 approaching invaders. The game's high difficulty, characterized by the enemies' increasing speed toward the end of each round, fueled the initial fervor surrounding the title. Enthusiasts competed by mastering advanced techniques, such as earning mystery points from UFOs and utilizing strategies like the "Nagoya Attack." This exhibit also preserves technical phenomena unique to early arcade gaming, such as variations in sound caused by the original hardware and speed limitations that occurred under specific environmental conditions.
