    Space Invaders was the first coin-op arcade video game that I played in 1978 and I have always wanted a genuine home video game version. This might be the one that I might buy for myself for Christmas.

    • @mthraves

    Great review as always, Jon. Since the My Arcade 2020 Premium Edition was the original 1978 version of Space Invaders with the colorless/white aliens and green shields, I was hoping this one would be the 1979/1980 Part II/Deluxe version with the multi-colored aliens and red shields. From what I can tell, it doesn't appear to be included in the Pocket Player Pro either, which is a shame, considering it normally includes 2-3 different games. (The Galaga Pocket Player Pro also includes Galaxian, for example.)

  • @bauske
    @bauske 10 месяцев назад +4

    I think I'd still personally prefer the premium one, just because of that authentic screen reflection setup. It's very cool to look at. Also! Here's hoping we can get some video of the new Pac-Man line from MyArcade. I'd love to see how the game is in there, and if it's similar to the Ms. Pac-Man one, which was excellent.

  • @smallspacearcade8158
    @smallspacearcade8158 10 месяцев назад +3

    Looking good. I already have the premium one, but have all these new ones pre-ordered. Hopefully if these do well a third wave could maybe see Frogger, Timepilot and Scramble....or who knows what else.🤞 Great review as always Jon.

  • @jvanb231
    @jvanb231 10 месяцев назад +4

    @spaztekwarrior 10 месяцев назад +2

  • @robert_roland63

    I knew this video dropped over the weekend and just now getting to it. In my opinion that backdrop on the previous edition is what I remember playing that game in arcades. Would I be crazy to say I’d want both? Yes I would! Loved the review and thanks for the info.

  • @jayme69

  • @kbramlett6877
    @kbramlett6877 10 месяцев назад

    It would have been a nice addition if you could alter the dip switches. Dip-switches on classic arcade games made slight changes to the game such as the number of starting lives, the number of coins to start, changing the difficulty, and setting the game on "Free Play" if the option was available. Also, going through my MAME ROMs, I had no idea how many bootleg game variants of Space Invaders there were.

    Great review as per usual Jon. I was really impressed with the sound through the headphone jack ! Glad you put that in here.
    On thing I wonder about these mini arcade games is the stability of the unit on a desk or table top. You highlighted the rubber strips and how securely they keep the cabinet from sliding, but particularly with the recessed knee plate, does the unit have a tendency to pivot or topple forward when pressing the buttons or using the joystick ?

      Thanks for asking. It's going to be tough to beat the 2020 Space Invaders for me (maybe the upcoming Numskull?) The game is pretty accurate plus the who mechanic for the reflection projected up on the moonscape is just next-level for a collectible toy like this.

      The cost of required materials, as I understand it, is the limiting factor. What you describe can definitely be done, but would raise the price beyond what the market would bear.

      I get it. Almost two years of nothing and now a bunch all at once, so I have a lot to catch up on.

    Imagine a device that doesnt save high scores. SHHHH thank god this trash My Arcade weren't about in the 70s or 80s, there would be NO ARCADE as there would be no reason to compete.
