Space Invaders Virtual Collection[a] is a 1995 compilation video game developed and published by Taito in Japan for the Virtual Boy. It includes direct ports of the arcade game Space Invaders (1978) and its direct sequel Space Invaders Part II (1979), alongside 3D remakes that take advantage of the Virtual Boy's hardware capabilities. Both games feature a number of alternative gameplay modes, such as score attack and time attack modes.
Development of the game was headed by director Toshiki Sakai, with music composed by Fumito Tamayama and programming by Tatsuya Kitasawa. Space Invaders creator Tomohiro Nishikado is credited for the remade arcade ports. Virtual Collection was met with a mixed reaction from critics; some praised the game's accurate versions of the included games and 3D effects, while others criticized its lack of content and small amount of titles. It is notable for being one of the rarest Virtual Boy games released, with original copies demanding high prices on online auction sites.
