Title: 2-player Space Invaders! :D

I just found out that the SNES title, [Space Invaders: The Original Game](https://spaceinvaders.fandom.com/wiki/Space_Invaders:_The_Original_Game), includes a Vs. Game mode where two players competitively take on their own sets of Invaders. It completely passed me by back in the day, and I was surprised by that! :tongue:

It also has a mechanic where you can send extra aliens over to your opponent's side in a similar manner to the likes of [Puyo Puyo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puyo_Puyo) (or [Kirby's Ghost Trap/Kirby's Avalanche](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4DeR9uey8Q) and [Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-1b3IA2ujA), if you're old enough to remember those mascot-themed localised versions :smile:).

It's a neat little thing, and I just wanted to give it a shout-out here for anyone else who didn't know about it and might like to give it a try. :grin:

Does that mean, instead of just kicking your butt in bomberman, I can kick your butt in space invaders too? :grin:

HAHAHAHAHA! You have yet to kick my butt at anything, my friend! :tongue:

I can tell you, it's in a similar vein to the hilarity of multiplayer Bomberman, though - and Worms, if you've ever given that a go. :grin: It gets frantic quick, since the Invaders start lower than in the standard game.
