Space Invaders II Description

Like the classic original, this game requires the player to destroy advancing invader ships. This game has a competitive mode where two players fight to destroy each other in addition to the advancing attackers.

Cabinet Information

The game is housed in an early 1980's Midway cocktail cabinet (similar to Galaxian) with rounded corners and the smaller coin door. The glass top is black with arrows pointing to "Space Invaders 2" screened on each sides' left corner. The right corners contain the text "NEW two players play together".

Game Introduction

Fend off advancing invaders and be on guard for the CPU or the second player's ship sweeping the playfield from above. Players can destroy the opposing player and gain his ship.
