Well, it determines how broardly you interpret the word "clone"
On that basis, we've got no audio space invaders remakes at all, sinse none
of the ones we have have the same ship formations, have more than a few
ships in the playing field at the same time, have shields in front of your
cannon etc.
However, if you determine it simply as "games where you have a cannon on the
ground and shoot at descending air born enemies" (which is the reason I've
used for the space invaders games audiogames.net genre classification), then
we seem to have a good few actually.
The eason I created the genre classification in the first place is it struck
me A, we have so damnably many of these, and B, they needed splitting from
the actual arcade games genre catagory or half the database would be
classified as arcade games which would be confusing.
I do however think it's a valid classification myself if you interpret
"space invaders games" as a reasonable genre catagorization.
Beware the grue!

Those are not space invader clones. They are a bit like space invaders,
but not clones--not really. A true clone would have columns of ships,
falling bombs, shields, etc.
Soon, there will be a TRUE space invaders clone though--one that takes the
game to a whole new level. It's called Space Attack, and once I get all
the bugs out I'll release it. It works on PC and Pac Mates. Not only does
it have the columns of ships, the shields, the bombs and the ufos, it also
has brand new features, like a store in which you can upgrade damaged
shields, guns, and more. You can even gamble.
All if I can just get these last two bugs fixed anyway.

I would personally love a Space Invader clone, provided of course that
this
one was in English. Lol. Seriously though, the Japanese one is an
absolute
bear to follow, so an English version would be great.

Hi there, I had more shooting games in mind but am afraid they'd be
classified as Space Invader clones and hardly anyone would play it.
What
do you consider to be a Space Invader clone and what suggestions do you
have to separate new shooting games from this crowd? I am listening!
Thanks.
