Space Invaders -like game that was called possibly something like Revenge of the Space Invaders or Space Invaders Strike Back! or... not. I think it was shareware, and definitely didn't have the polish of a major release. I'm thinkin hi-res VGA or EGA but maybe it just used colour sparingly. I played it around the turn of the millennium - probably DOS but possibly Windows (it was a Windows XP machine). It had some gimmick gameplay-wise but I can't even remember the loving gimmick! It was really a lot of fun and smooth to play once you got the hang of it.

It may have used :siren: STOP PRESS! OK I just now remembered what it was called, it's Rescue from Space Invaders. I'm still leaving this post here because it's a fun game. https://www.facebook.com/RescueFromSpaceInvaders/

No, that’s not it either. I remember the min guy being quite big, seen from the back. I’m starting to think this might actually be a constructed memory combined from many different games.

Mobygames has nine Atari 2600 action games with a from-behind view and none of them seem to match. (They don't have every game in the world, of course.)
