Space Invaders

Does Space Invaders run on R36S?

Yes. Atari 5200 games are rated Perfect on the R36S (RK3326): they generally run at full speed.

Full-speed on all R36 models. Some titles need the keypad overlay mapped to buttons.

Made for a 4:3 TV, so it fills the 3.5-inch screen of the R36S, R36 Pro and R36H. On the 4-inch square screen (R36S Plus, R36 Max, R36S Ultra) it shows with bars at the top and bottom.

Ratings are estimates for the whole Atari 5200 library on the RK3326 chip, not a test of this one title. Compare R36 models

🕹️About the Atari 5200

Atari's 1982 successor to the 2600 was built on its 8-bit computer line, giving it far better graphics and sound. Its analogue, non-self-centring controllers are widely blamed for its commercial failure — a problem that disappears entirely on a modern d-pad.
