You know what I can't find is a RED Space Invaders cart. I bought a sealed Red box SI at PC4 but, annoyingly, when I opened the thing up there was a silver cart inside. :mad:

Huh ? Of course it's more rare than the other 2 but that doesn't mean someone should go bid crazy over it. :?

Ahhhh, PC4 memories. I know you were ticked about it, but I still remember watching with baited breath as you ripped that sucker open, thinking you'd get that HTF red. I still don't have one myself I've been reluctant to buy a shrinkwrapped one to get it ever since I saw the crestfallen look on your face. I hope to just get lucky and snag one at thrift or in an auction lot.

It worked out OK in the end. I traded the thing for a sealed GBC "Spy Hunter / Moon Patrol" which ain't too bad for $5, all things considered.

Ok, let me explain to you, you said there as a sliver cart came out from the red box, but you said sliver, answer is no, real is greyish label! The real sliver label is came out from sliver box.

 

I wanted to show you my scan and compare between two cartridge of SI.....now on the left side is the real Sliver space Invaders under Atari Inc. (1980)....On the right side of greyish label of Space Invaders under Atari corp. (1988).

I think that you are right. I'm pretty sure that it was a 1988 "grey" version rather than a proper silver one.

I bought a bunch of Space Invaders off O'sheas back wneh they were 70 cents each. I got both the red and silver (or maybee grey) lables this way. I'm sure they still have PLENTY just ask for the box you want and they will be happy to sell it to you if they still have them.
