"space invaders" is a classic. it has given birth to other games more sophisticated in design, but ultimately would not exist without "space invaders". this snes port is a compilation of four seperate arcade cabinets from back in the day. the game looks good, however this is only a collection of the old arcade games. there is nothing new to be found on this cartridge. this isn't bad if you are looking to relive your glory days in the arcade hall. but if you are too young to remember, then i think the thrill will be lost on you.

Space Invaders certainly is a fun arcade classic (To think it came all the way from the late 70s), and it clearly shows that through its simplistic, yet enjoyable gameplay. A 2-Player Vs Mode to see who can kill the aliens faster is a nice addition to the faithful adaptation.

But you see - The main problem that prevents this from getting 5 stars isn't the game's own fault. It's that there are so many other shooters on the Super Nintendo, let alone the other systems, that go beyond the heights of this game. I gave the Atari 2600 version of Space Invaders 5 stars due to its brand-new game modes that make the game itself more fresh and fun.

Take even the most similar games in the lot, like Galaga. It's gameplay is identical to that of Space Invaders, but it allows the player to shoot multiple missles at once, and the aliens dive toward the player's aircraft. Space Invaders has a slightly duller feel compared to Galaga.

However, if you're a Space Invaders fan, this Super Nintendo version won't disappoint, as it is just like the arcade original. Just try not to expect a major improvement.

Game was defective when received. I guess being "tested" by the seller is not enough to ensure that the game works. The money was refunded, so I have no complaints about the seller.
