All Virtual Boy Games #16: Space Invaders Virtual Collection

Posted 26 Mar 2025 at 09:27 by Dean Jones
A collection of Space Invaders 1 & 2. I’m not a massive fan of Space Invaders, and this package offers very little in the overall scheme of things. The big thing is that you can play from a different perspective, which doesn’t change the game in any way, and you can barely see the depth effects, with the only noticeable 3D being the background for Space Invaders 2.
You do have the option of playing the games normally, with them being “behind” a screen. There’s also a challenge mode which was quite disappointing. You just start a standard game with two options: get the highest score in a set time, or try to get the best time to reach a set score, nothing actually curated like starting your later on the game. The collection is pretty much what it claims to be, but nothing more.
Fine
Remake or remaster?
These games have been re-released many times.
