Crossword Genius

People not social distancing in game? (5,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

space invaders

This clue is a double definition.

'people not social distancing' is the first definition.
(people invading others' personal space)

'game?' is the second definition.
(Space Invaders is a video game)

'in' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
