Space Invaders [SEP] Sales and ports
Other official ports were released for the Atari 8-bit computer line and Atari 5200 console, while Taito later released it for the Nintendo Famicom in 1985, but just in Japan. Numerous unofficial clones were made, such as the popular computer games "Super Invader" (1979) and "TI Invaders" (1981); the latter was the top-selling game for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A through at least 1982. Adjusted for inflation, sales of all versions of "Space Invaders" combined are estimated to have exceeded $13 billion in gross revenue, making it the highest-grossing video game of all time.
