What Pepsi Invaders is
Pepsi Invaders is a shooter game developed by Atari, Inc. and released in 1983. It was published by The Coca-Cola Company. It is available on Atari 2600 only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
This is one of the more interesting Atari collectibles. Coca-Cola commissioned a game from Atari to give to their Atlanta employees. In this case, Atari redesigned Space Invaders so that you shoot the letters "P E P S I" instead of space creatures. There were 125 copies of this game made. There is no real box for this one, just a flimsy Styrofoam shell. So it isn’t really a prototype, but it wasn’t a commercially available game either. And no, Coca-Cola does not have any copies left.

It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
