This is a much less interesting adaptation of Space Invaders than the one on Game Boy, but the semi-3D mode is kind of neat. Too bad it's locked away, probably forever, behind its prohibitive scarcity and price!

Space Invaders: Virtual Collection retrospective: The Andromeda eyestrain | Virtual Boy Works #18

We're nearly done with Virtual Boy Works, but before we can put a bow on this venture, we need to tackle the four daunting Japan-only collector's pieces that shipped in the console's final month of existence in that market. First up is Space Invaders: Virtual Collection, a pretty decent recreation of and embellishment on the venerable arcade classics. It's a game that would be a no-brainer pick-up if not for the fact that its value has shot into the stratosphere thanks to its extreme rarity. Oh well.
