DescriptionA remake of the original with several new options.Know anything more about this game? Game IntroductionA 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.Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Uncommon - There are 13 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 0 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 13 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 8 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos 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.
