Pepsi Invaders PEPSI Invaders has been developped by Atari for Coke. 125 cartridges have been published for the Atlanta employes. This game is a Mod of the Atari 2600 Space Invaders from Taito. The goal of this game is to destroy all the blue elements: aliens and the P, E, P, S, I letters. The player has all the lives he need during 3 minutes. Thus when the player's spaceship is destroyed, it always comes back. When the game is over, an animation clears all the blue invaders and the message "Coke wins" flashes. The marketing seems to be stronger than any other invaders!
