Aliens are trying to take over the solar system, and you're the only one that can stop them. You are the best pilot on Earth, and you must defend all of the planets. After choosing your vehicle from the three that are available, it will stay at the bottom of the screen as a formation of aliens slowly moves down the screen. Your job is simple: blast the aliens out the sky. When they are decimated, you will move on to the next level. Fortunately, there are several power-ups available including electricity, solar flares, bubbles, shurikens, and others. As you progress through the game, new aliens with new formations will appear, not mention a boss character or two. If you are lucky enough to make it through all of the game levels, you will be able to play a version of the original arcade game released in the late ?70s. Defend the Earth from tyranny in SPACE INVADERS.

"esoteric gaming"
"space invaders" is a classic. it has given birth to other games more sophisticated in design, but ultimately would not exist without "space invaders". this snes port is a compilation of four seperate arcade cabinets from back in the day. the game looks good, however this is only a collection of the old arcade games. there is nothing new to be found on this cartridge. this isn't bad if you are looking to relive your glory days in the arcade hall. but if you are too young to remember, then i think the thrill will be lost on you.
A classic, but its pretty datedFeb 09, 2012
By SMB Madman Space Invaders certainly is a fun arcade classic (To think it came all the way from the late 70s), and it clearly shows that through its simplistic, yet enjoyable gameplay. A 2-Player Vs Mode to see who can kill the aliens faster is a nice addition to the faithful adaptation.
But you see - The main problem that prevents this from getting 5 stars isn't the game's own fault. It's that there are so many other shooters on the Super Nintendo, let alone the other systems, that go beyond the heights of this game. I gave the Atari 2600 version of Space Invaders 5 stars due to its brand-new game modes that make the game itself more fresh and fun.
Take even the most similar games in the lot, like Galaga. It's gameplay is identical to that of Space Invaders, but it allows the player to shoot multiple missles at once, and the aliens dive toward the player's aircraft. Space Invaders has a slightly duller feel compared to Galaga.
However, if you're a Space Invaders fan, this Super Nintendo version won't disappoint, as it is just like the arcade original. Just try not to expect a major improvement.

Space invadersMar 16, 2011
By littleoldlady Game was defective when received. I guess being "tested" by the seller is not enough to ensure that the game works. The money was refunded, so I have no complaints about the seller.
