Game Details

Classic - The game that started it all. The aim was simply to shoot the 55 alien invaders in each wave before they could land. The invaders would be arranged in five rows of 11, and shuffled along left to right and back again, moving down a row when the formation reached the sides of the screen. Your laser base could only have one shot in the air at a time (a common limitation of early shoot-em-ups), but the four shelters provided some protection from the invaders bombs. As the invaders formation was depleted, they would speed up, and often the last invader proved almost impossible to kill as it hurtled along just above your base. Possibly the first attract mode with a sense of humour, it would display "INSERT CCOIN", and an invader would come along and bomb the offending "C".

As colour video games such as Galaxian and Pac Man started to appear, a significant number of Colour Space Invaders machines appeared. These consisted of nothing more than a standard black and white machine with a multi-coloured filter in front of the screen!

by MINKYMONKEY. Comment: "They kept it very quiet, very quiet indeed. The forthcoming invasion was to instant quick and no kid or parent would be able to avoid what was about to happen. Then the world went mad!! Children from the 4 corners of the globe became instant warriors but their battle was fueled by the stars and a quest to save earth. People stared into video cabinets, their eyes blood shot their pockets empty. Japan had to double its currency of coinage. Parents had to file for larger overdrafts to allow their child to experience star battle. As star wars boomed across the cinema, the arcades became the arena for human kind to join the battle. Was this the end of the world? No it was the introduction of space invaders. This game to me is my everything. Its my youth and child hood wrapped into one. Lets be honest folks theirs a lot of us feel this way." (2005-08-06 14:23:33Z)

Midway 8080 System Boards
The Midway 8080 system board was the basis of many of Midway's black & white video games from 1975 till 1980. This board is easy to distinguish because of it's shape, The mother board has a daughter board plugged into it at a 90 degree angle with 2 aluminum braces holding the boards together. (Midway's Omega Race is very similar in appearance but is not part of this system.) The daughter board is used for audio production & amplification and input/output interfacing to the cabinet.

Pinouts for TMS2716 IC
Submitted by Unknown Q: Does anyone know how to use standard 2716's on a Space Invaders board ? I've been looking all over for pinouts for these damn TMS2716's but have had no luck. A: A normal (non-TMS) 2716 versus a TMS2716 pins out like this: <----- normal 2716 -----><---- TMS2716 pin redefinitions ----> +-----+ +-----+ A7 |1 +--+ 24| VCC <--- Vcc/PE (PE is Program Enable) A6 |2 23| A8 A5 |3 22| A9 A4 |4 21| VPP <--- Vbb (-5 volts) A3
