Grumpy Cat's "GI1000" is based on the CGL handheld game "Galaxy Invader 1000"
from around 1980. Destroy the aliens and UFOs and prevent the aliens landing.

It includes the following:
+ 3 levels of difficulty.
+ Samples from the real game.
+ Authentic flickering LED style graphics.

You start the game with 3 lives and 250 missiles. The game ends if:
+ You reach 1000 points - congratulations!
+ You use up all your missiles.
+ You lose all your lives.
+ An alien lands.

At 700 points you will receive an extra life and 50 more missiles. A warning will sound when you have only 30 missiles remaining.

Wow brings back memories - awesome stuff !
I remember playing this one christmas along with Grandstand's Astro Wars and Scramble
I used to play it in my sleeping bag, with my head at the bottom of the bag and my feet sticking out of the open top.
Sometimes I would get so tired, I would stare into the display and watch the lights blur.
