Fake Invaders

Another from my collection, a CDROM this time, from England:

Remember Counterfeit MINIs (and good to see the website is still up)? In England MINI did a similar campaign, but instead of disguising cars to look like MINIs, they went for trucks, and even sheds!

The CDROM contains a version of Space Invaders, vaguely themed on the UK counterfeits … I’ll assume it’s the same as the “giant size” game that was playable at the UK motor show in 2006:

If you’re on Windows, and don’t mind downloading an EXE file, click here and play (it seems to be a packaged ShockWave game, and it plays too fast for me to crack the first level!)
If you prefer not to run the program, Paul Mullett put up a video on MINI2, from his visit to the 2006 UK motorshow, that shows the game being played.
