Heiankyo Alien
1979
The player controls a Heian period police officer who must defend the capital city from an alien invasion by digging holes in the ground and filling them back up after an alien falls inside. The player scores points for every alien trapped, and the quicker the hole is filled up after the alien falls in, the higher the number of points are scored. The aliens increase in number as the levels progress, and they can escape from holes after a certain period of time elapses or if another alien passes above their hole. The player loses if he comes in contact with an alien. There is a time limit for each level, and the number of aliens increases drastically when this limit is reached, essentially preventing the player from completing the level.Space Attack

Space Attack
1979
Space Attack is an arcade shooting game, released by Sega for VIC Dual hardware in 1979. In the US it is thought to have been renamed Super Space Attack - whether there are in fact two separate games is currently unknown, but the two are extremely similar and "Super" is often dropped in internal Super Space Attack documents. It's a Space Invaders clone and is almost identical to Taito's classic. It is completely identical to another VIC Dual Space Invaders clone, Alpha Fighter, sharing full color graphics and a "bonus" round (in which the saucer briefly descends from the top of the screen after clearing the rest of usual set of invaders). Space Attack has a different set of graphics to Alpha Fighter, however. Similar to versions of Space Invaders, the upright cabinets for Space Attack use a mirror to project the image onto a textured surface (in this case, a starfield), giving the illusion that there is a background while playing.Double Block
