Bargain Invaders

Bargain Invaders is a ripoff of Space Invaders (copyright Taito, 1978). Gameplay is, well, Space Invaders, but of poorer quality.

It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision.
