Super Space Invaders (Game Gear) price, value & rarity
Is Super Space Invaders still worth playing in 2026?
A modern reworking of Taito's founding shooter, Super Space Invaders energises the original formula with new enemies, bonus stages and imposing bosses, while keeping the essence of firing at descending waves. The increased snappiness and variety refresh a legendary concept, in a readable and effective Game Gear version. The respect for the legacy and the judicious additions appeal. For a fan of classic shmups or someone curious about Space Invaders' legacy, the title keeps a direct, well paced arcade pleasure.
