Invasion of the Body Snatchas! would go on to be re-released as Blow-out in 1998 by MCM Software S.A.[1]

Sinclair User reviewed the game in their magazine, "At last! a version as fast and furious and as frustratingly addictive as the arcade original Landers, Mutants, Bombers, Pods, Swarmers and much much more combine to produce the ultimate space game!"[2]
