Game Introduction

A modern and 100 percent faithful JAMMA version of Taito's classic Space Invaders, but with a twist. There are several different games available to choose from: the upright and cocktail versions of the original plus the "colour overlay" versions. The best thing about this is that the colour overlay versions have the colour bars purposely OUT of alignment, anyone who remembers playing these originally will know that the strips of coloured plastic over the monitor were rarely in line with each other, and this purposeful sloppiness adds to the feel and realism of the "colour" game considerably. The game, however, sadly lacks an implementation of "Super Space Invaders 91", which would have made it complete in all ways.

CAPS/VAPS Arcade Census

There are 6,481 members of the Classic Arcade Preservation Society / Video Arcade Preservation Society, 3,726 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 61,112 machines (3,630 unique titles).

Uncommon - There are 14 known instances of this machine owned by Space Invaders DX collectors. Of these, 14 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

This game ranks a 9 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Wanted - No members have added this machine to their wish list. Please note that many collectors are not members or do not list their desires here, and it is likely that a number of collectors might purchase this machine if offered it at the right price.

This game ranks a 0 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them even though arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses, while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.
In particular, since VAPS started out focusing on videogames, statistics for other types of machines should not (yet) be an indication of scarcity.
For a clue to value, look at absolute numbers of owners and potential owners above, compare a ratio of how many people want this game vs. how many people have this game (0%) and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
