I couldn't find anything about what size these actually are,and it says they are 2 games in 1.

I wonder what the second game is on the Space Invaders machine?

Would make too much sense for it to be Space Invaders II/Deluxe, so you know it can't be that. :ponder:

 

It's simply Space Invaders, but in color. 2 games my ass! :lol:

 

This thing should be a 3-in-1, with SI Deluxe and Lunar Rescue. Now that would be cool.

I agree.

The last thing I need is a space eating single game unit.

I love your 3-1 idea!

I might purchase that....

I saw another photo where the countercade dig dug has both left and right buttons.

 

--------

Space invaders should really have the colour filters and background image.

dig dug was like that in the arcades.

 

modding allows you to add the background images, filters, and tons of variations.

The countercades are listed at home depots site, under 'tastemakers':

 

https://www.homedepot.com/s/tastemakers?NCNI-5

 

They have them for release at the same dates as gamestop, however,

gamestop has pushed back the dates on Dig Dug, and Centipede to 5/22

 

Home Depot has them listed as earlier release.

They can use the 2-player button as the second action button.

i highly doubt they will do that, i also think that no one at

the company played the game, or knows how to play it.

 

they are on the left side, which makes it unplayable for me also.

Home Depot's listing for the Space Invaders Countercade says it includes Elevator Action! Home Depot exclusives now? :lol:

 

Probably a misprint, but who would pull Elevator Action out of thin air like that? Wishful thinking by somebody who also feels or thought Space Invaders color is a poor choice for a second game? haha

Well, what else would you choose from Taito, e.g. Jungle Hunt, Qix.

Unless they plan on selling dedicated cabinets, the patently obvious choice would have been Space Invaders Deluxe or Lunar Rescue. Though someone thought combining Space Invaders (1978) with Qix (1981) and calling them a "Silver Anniversary" edition was a good idea. :ponder:

I could see Bubble Bobble....MAYBE even Rastan?

 

Or Zoo Keeper, The Legend of Kage, Time Tunnel, Jump Coaster, Frogs & Spiders, Ninja-Kid, Port Man, Mat Mania. You would think their less popular titles would be cheap to license.

Sure they might be, but you would hope its a title that people actually like, and remember.

Granted, I don't know many Taito titles except for the biggest ones.
