space invaders

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hit from the late 70s' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'remix a spencer davis' is the wordplay.
'remix' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'remix of' mean this (letters are mixed in a different way)).
'a'+'spencer'+'davis'='aspencerdavis'
'aspencerdavis' anagrammed gives 'SPACE INVADERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for space invaders that I've seen before include "Early arcade game -- aliens?" , "They'll leave you little room" , "Early electronic game" , "Early computer game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
