Space Invaders Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit Arcade Upgrade
Choosing the Correct Space Invaders Arcade Upgrade
These four Space Invaders products are intended for different original arcade PCB configurations. The most important pre-order step is identifying the actual board manufacturer and layout installed in the cabinet.
Midway Space Invaders, Midway Space Invaders Deluxe, and Taito black-and-white Space Invaders hardware are not automatically interchangeable simply because the kits share several games or similar upgrade functions.
