Mini Vaders is a simple game that was installed in Taito's universal arcade cabinets to make them "complete", as Japanese laws at the time required all arcade cabinets to come with a working game. It's a set of eight Space Invaders challenge stages, sans score and sound.
Unused Graphics#
As can plainly be seen on the title screen, this game does not use the original thin font from Space Invaders, instead being taken directly from Bubble Bobble/Rainbow Islands.
This includes the arrows that were originally used for the stage editor in the Bubble Bobble prototype...
...and the old Taito logo!
