Space Invaders This version of Space Invaders is based on the original arcade release and offers a classic mode that allows the player to choose the type of arcade cabinet (upright, black & white, etc.) as background to the action. The Game Boy version has both one- and two-player modes using the usual Game Boy tones (black and grey). However, plugging the cart into a Super Game Boy allows playing the game in full color.

The versus mode is split-screen, each player trying to survive and eliminate more invaders than the opponent. The PC Engine (TurboGrafx) CD version offers an additional "cosmic versus" mode, where the background is composed of anime-style pictures of girls. They also appear in the "omake mode", which is a single-player variant with the same backgrounds. [source:mobygames]
