I've always enjoyed the animated invaders from the Atari 8-bit and 5200 versions of Space Invaders. However, the game is not true to the original in terms of graphics or sound. The core game play is the same, but this game is really more of a follow-on than a true port. Still, it's fun...and works great with the 5200 controllers.
