Cabinet Information

The game is housed in an early 1980's Midway cocktail cabinet (similar to Galaxian) with rounded corners and the smaller coin door. The glass top is black with arrows pointing to "Space Invaders 2" screened on each sides' left corner. The right corners contain the text "NEW two players play together".

Game Introduction

Fend off advancing invaders and be on guard for the CPU or the second player's ship sweeping the playfield from above. Players can destroy the opposing player and gain his ship.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Uncommon - There are 6 known instances of Space Invaders II owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 5 of them are original dedicated machines, and it is a set of circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,098 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 5 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 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. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

This game was a Midway in-house design. The programmer's name is contained in a small message inside one of the PROMs.
