Aliens from the planet Lexicon are here to destroy the Earth with their superior literacy! It's up to you to prove humanity can type better than any adorably pixellated yet evil alien scum. But don't get too cocky... this is a challenge that will push your typing skills to their limits!
Phrase Invaders is an early 80s, classically designed arcade game using a unique typing mechanic... to shoot down aliens, you need to quickly and accurately type the words, phrases, or even sentences that appear over their heads. With three aliens attacking at any given time, you'll have hours of fun scrambling to shoot them down and save your planet. Works great as a two player competitive game, as well -- the fastest typist scores bonus points!
You set the price per game, which goes into your pocket -- or you can set it to Free Play. High scores are trackable using optional 1 prim scoreboards. Game itself is only NINE primitives, and is copyable and moddable (no transfer). Comes with instructions on how you can change its dictionaries and supply your own words! Note that lag can cause drops in gameplay quality. If you'd like to have this game give ticket rewards which your patrons can convert into prizes, use the optional "Arcade Ticket and Prize System", on sale at Insert Coin Arcade.

CURRENT VERSION: 3.1. August 4, 2007. Fixes ticket output bug.
New feature for all games in 2008: If the top score gets knocked off the high score board, the game will IM them to let them know who their new rival is! Great for encouraging return visits! (If you own an earlier version of the scoreboard, free upgrades are available at Insert Coin Arcade.)

Box only gives Info Card!!!
This store item is a total rip off! I payed 260 $L and all I got was a box with a picture of a game that gives a folder with only an info card! I am so tired of getting ripped off on old outdated market items! I am about done buying things here!
A++
Excellent buy, you can edit the dictionaries, change high score textures, play for free, or set a price for your "friends" heh, keeps high scores for each avatar too which is great .... I thought it would only show the top score, but no sir, woohoo! <-- my 1st 5 star! =)
Rather fun arcade game that tests the player's ability to type, and its only 10 prims including the 1 prim high score board! And even better, you can add your own words! I recommend this for any club or arcade.
