Game Boy

Space Invaders is one of the most historically loaded releases in the Game Boy library, bringing one of the most influential arcade games of all time to the handheld in an officially branded 1994 edition.

What makes the Game Boy version notable is that it was Super Game Boy enhanced, adding a technical layer to an otherwise minimalist monochrome shooter. It stands out less for its packaging than for the pure videogame history it represents.
