HighScoreSaves Space Invaders Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit
Expand a compatible original Midway or Taito Space Invaders arcade PCB with 10 classic games, Free Play, permanent score and initials saving, game-selection and settings menus, cocktail support, and optional Wi-Fi leaderboard submission.
The kit continues to use compatible original arcade hardware rather than replacing the board with an emulation or multicade platform. Supported settings and enhancements can be configured separately for the included games.
Use the dropdown above to select the manufacturer of the Space Invaders PCB installed in your cabinet. The Midway and Taito kit versions are hardware-specific, so select the PCB manufacturer rather than the cabinet branding.
