Coke Wins (AKA Pepsi Invaders)

Game: Coke wins (aka Pepsi Invaders)
Console: Atari 2600
Release date:
World's worst video games score: 4.7
Known Scores: Tomheroes C+, Gamespot User Score 5.2
Review: Quite simply yet another Space invaders clone. The objective? Destroy the evil pepsi invaders. Then theres the annonying countdown timer in which you only have 3 minutes to stop the pepsi invaders why this? I do not known. Once you complete a level it simply starts again - the ulitimate replayability? Adds nothing special video games except the humorous nature of blasting the word pepsi.
More Info: Coca-Cola asked Atari to create a game cartridge for Coca-Cola's Atlanta employees. So Atari went and altered Space Invaders. In this hack, the first five aliens are replaced by the letters P-E-P-S-I. The space ship that moves across the top has also been redesigned as the Pepsi red-white-and-blue circle logo. You have unlimited lives but only a three minute time limit to play. After the time runs out the game will flash with the words "Coke wins" at the top. There was also a lot of debate about the games name. It was first believed to be called Pepsi Invaders but it was later confirmed to be Coke Wins.
