The lower unknown Space Invaders http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Unknown/SpaceInvaders.htm
seems to be in the same range as
http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Misc/GalaxyElecGalaxyGame2001.htm
and are therefore probably made by Galaxy Electronics Corp too. The game case seems very similar.
Should it be moved to the Misc. section?

Well, it technically is made by Nintendo (Coleco licensed it from them)... But of course we still consider there to be a 'Nintendo' version and a 'Coleco' version.

As for the Galaxy games, they are a little different (the unknown game only has one set of buttons, and the Galaxy one has two, like a two player game...) But it is too similar to be a coincidence... I'm not sure if I've ever opened the Space Invaders game, maybe I should that and look for more markings on the inside. I have the SI game, and there's no manufacturer listed on it anywhere, so it probably licensed off to some generic toy company...

You know what, I'm looking at the pics now (I was going to ad a note on the page), and it clearly says '2001 Galaxy Series' right on the front of the box... So, I'm going to take a chance and move that version of the game to Misc under Galaxy Elec. (I also have an ad for Galaxy Electronics I'm going to place on both pages...)
