I have selected all official Space Invaders versions I know and could obtain, and I also included some modes that almost exactly reflect the core game mechanics. There are many official Space Invaders out there but they are not considered the same game because they alter the gameplay dramatically with new features. That's why I have excluded some revamped incarnations like Space Invaders 91, Space Invaders Plus (included in Space Invaders: Fukkatsu no Hi) or Space Invaders Infinity Gene, to name a few. Many emulated versions have been excluded as well. Perhaps you consider that I have failed to apply my own rules and some version would have to be out and surely you miss one too. If so, I'm sorry you're not satisfied with the selection. I have done the best I could.
