Space Invaders Virtual Collection:

After a short intro that shows a 3D alien… sorry I mean "space invader", being 3D and getting ready to attack (at least I think that’s what it’s doing), you will get to the optionsmenu that will give you a number of "different" modes indeed:

-Original 2D:

-Space Invaders à this is the original arcade game;

-Space Invaders Part II à this is the original arcade game part 2;

-Virtual 3D:

-Space Invaders à this is a re-newed 3D version of the original with cardboard cut-out enemy’s and a 3D background, which gives a nice effect, but the game is the same non the less;

-Space Invaders Part II à this is a re-newed 3D version of the original Part II with cardboard cut-out enemy’s and another different 3D background, which gives a nice effect, but the game is the same non the less;

-Challenge:

-Time Attack à a 3D variation on the original game, the goal here is to get the highest score in the least of time (I believe you will at least need to keep yourself alive for 2.30 minutes);

-Score Attack à another 3D variation on the original game, the goal here is to get a score of at least 1500 points or ofcourse higher;

I don’t think I need to say much more about this game since everyone knows the classic Space Invaders plot of you the player being in command of a spaceship that must protect "everyone" from approaching space invaders, and you will have to do this by shooting them to oblivion before they shoot you, but the more you shoot the faster they will come at you (shooting and all).

In short: This is the classic Space Invaders plus a number of new 3D variations on it, if you liked other Space Invaders conversions you will surely enjoy this Virtual Boy version as well.

My opinion: As classic and retro as they come this game is. I like blasting the aliens, at times even my hands started sweating because things went so fast, a great golden oldie. As for the price you should pay, you all know Space Invaders so you must determine what it’s worth yourself.
