Space Invaders - SNES - DE

This version of Space Invaders is based on the 1994 arcade game Space Invaders DX, but lacks the parody mode of that game. What remains is the classic mode, in which the player can choose the type of arcade cabinet (upright, black and white, etc.) as the background for the action, as well as the two-player versus mode. In versus mode, the screen is split, with each player trying to survive and eliminate more invaders than their opponent. The Game Boy version has both single-player and two-player modes and uses the typical Game Boy colours (black and grey). However, if you connect the cartridge to a Super Game Boy, you can play the game in all four cabinet types featured in the SNES version. The PC Engine (TurboGrafx) CD version offers an additional "Cosmic versus" mode, in which the background consists of anime-style images of girls. They also appear in the "Omake mode", a single-player variant with the same backgrounds. The WonderSwan version does not offer all four cabinet types (only black and white), but retains the versus mode.
