The "Deluxe" version of Space Invaders that is...

KLOV lists it as Space Invaders Deluxe. But if you look at the front glass:

http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=12743

It is clearly shown as Deluxe Space Invaders.

The manual shows it that way too, with the Deluxe first (don't have a picture handy).

The front and back of the flyer shows "Deluxe" first too, even though they have it listed in their database with it after:

So, how do you say it? I think Deluxe should be first. I know it makes it easier to be after, but it's not the way the game was titled on everything I've ever seen.
 
You're absolutely right. Problem is, most other sequels have the adjective after the game title. Its the more natural way to say it for most. But an interesting fact anyway....
 
same way as I'd say Space invaders 2 or Space invaders EXTREME (uh...). I always put the name of the game first, then what version it is. Just rolls off the tongue better.
 
I've always called it Space Invaders Deluxe, but I think I'm going 100% by the glass and calling it Deluxe Space By Midway Invaders.
 
I've always called ours SID....then again, my daughter calls it hers...so I'm screwed.


Gonna go play it right now! Thanks for reminding me I have one....daughter is asleep too....hehehehe.! Mine I say, MINE!
