    The only real difference in the two Space Invaders is whether or not a color overlay is simulated. The two games have different high score saves as well. Also, while the joystick has a restrictor gate keeping it to left right, the restrictor gate is actually the control panel cutout itself, not the insert in the bottom of the joystick - we'll see how durable that choice is long term. It's probably best to buy this one on a steep sale; it's best for those who really love Space Invaders, or have a Space Invaders themed collection.

    Very enjoyable old school game for adult or child. I love the size of it! A great price versus those full size cabinets games costing 2-4x as much!

    Paid under $100 for this, and am very pleased with it overall. Did not realize how small it was, and probably wouldn’t have bought it at full price. Overall, very pleased with the system.
