A start of a new series in which I explore the exciting world of BBC BASIC type-in listing games and show how you can use them to learn how to code your own 8-bit games! Join me as I take a first look at Mark Buckwell's "Cosmic Invaders", the subject of this series, and outline the four essential components of an 8-bit arcade game. Enjoy!
