View Braze Taito Space Invaders KitIdentify Your Space Invaders Hardware Before Ordering
Space Invaders cabinets were produced with different Midway and Taito PCB layouts. These products are not interchangeable solely because they contain similar games.
- Confirm whether your original arcade hardware was manufactured by Midway or Taito.
- Check whether the cabinet contains a two-board L-shaped set, a Taito three-board stack, or another documented configuration.
- The Braze kits require the original Intel 8080 processor to be installed in a compatible socket.
- If the 8080 is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must install a compatible socket before installation.
- Review the appropriate installation guide and compare its board images and instructions with your hardware before ordering.

These four Space Invaders products are designed for different original arcade PCB configurations. The HighScoreSaves kit offers 10 games and optional Wi-Fi, while the three Braze kits offer an eight-game collection with power-on diagnostics and interactive test functions.
The most important difference is hardware compatibility. Midway Space Invaders, Midway Space Invaders Deluxe, and Taito black-and-white boards require the product matched to their specific manufacturer and PCB configuration.
