Reviewer: Xtzou (Talk) 18:40, 29 May 2010 (UTC) Hi, I am reviewing this article and have made some comments below. I hope it is ok that I did some copy editing. Please feel free to revert errors I may have introduced.[reply]

Lead

• "supported a light gun" - perhaps link here to explain what it is.
• I tried to reword some of the lead; please revert any errors I may have introduced.

Gamesplay

• "The story has sections that take place aboard the space craft and on the planet's surface." - what is the planet?
• "Enemies are either aliens or mechanical guns that descend from above the screen,[8] several of which can only be defeated by first shooting away their limbs" - how can a player should away the limbs of mechanical guns?
• "Screens scroll horizontally and into the screen in pseudo-3D." - Can this be worded better?

Development and history

• "The visuals are reflected into view via a mirror in the cabinet." - what does this mean?
• "with the marquee baring the game's name overhanging players if they are leaning in. " - hanging over the players?
• "on the limited edition CD "ZUNTATA HISTORY L'ab-normal 1st" - why is this in all caps?

Home conversions

• "In 1992, Ocean Software ported the game to home gaming systems" - I'm confused, as no specific mention has been made of the arcade release, that I noticed.
• "Taito's Sega Master System port uses the Sega Light Phaser accessory. The Amiga and Atari ST versions is one of the few games to use the Trojan Light Gun.[2][3] On October 14, 2005, the game was included in the Taito compilation Taito Legends for the PS2, PC and Xbox." - these sentences seem to be unrelated facts.

Reception

*"Amaya Lopex gave the original arcade version of the game four out of five." - four out of five what? Stars? Points?

Reception

• "Zero magazine gave particular praise to the sections where humans mutate into aliens" - it hasn't been explained that humans mutate into aliens in Gamesplay.

I may add some more comments later. Xtzou (Talk) 18:40, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I made edits to address some of your concerns. I'll try to address to the rest later. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 03:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]

That should take care of most everything. In regard to the reflected visuals in the cabinet, the second paragraph of Space Invaders#Hardware has a picture that illustrates what that is. Please let me know how I can word that to better convey the idea. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:37, 1 June 2010 (UTC))[reply]
