Hi everyone, I wanted to post one last video before the end of the month, and I broke a few rules in the process. I've skipped over four episodes in order to get to the biggest episode yet, simply because I was so excited at the prospect of putting this one together. If you know much about Space Invaders for Game Boy, you surely understand why it's so fascinating. And if not, well, watch on and be amazed...

Game Boy World #040: Space Invaders [Taito, 1990] [Taito/Nintendo, 1994]

This is it: The soaring high-water mark of Game Boy technology. You might not expect it from a humble conversion of a 1978 arcade game, and the original Japan-only release of Space Invaders would bear out that assumption. But when Taito and Nintendo reissued the game in the U.S.

This really is pretty rad. I didn't know about this back in the day (wish I had... would've given me a reason to actually use my SGB :-), but I did find out about it a few years ago while doing my own random research on old games. Manage to pick one up for a couple bucks shortly thereafter, though I still haven't fired up my SGB yet... Man, I need to rectify that.

How I was worried it would be hard to cover all the features of this game. You covered them all in spades. This is the definitive video of the Gameboy Space Invaders. From the custom borders, game modes, SNES version, and Super Gameboy mode. Excellent!
