Capcom Space Invasion (commando) arcade

    ITEM: Capcom Space Invasion/Commando arcade board
    PRICE: 50
    COLLECTION: postage included
    PAYMENT METHODS: PayPal

    This is an unusual one, Id imagine quite rare. This is capcoms "Space Invasion", a version of Commando made specifically for West Germany.

    Unfortunately...its gone a bit wonky. When I tested the game out first of all it had some glitchy graphics, but fully playable, sound and music all fine (That's how I know its "space Invasion").

    I took it apart and reseated the pals and eproms. The result is that I get an intro jingle to the game, but it just hangs on the garbled screen. Tested voltages, no problems. No idea what happened.

    Because it started out fine, im quite confident that in the right hands this can get going again.

    Just noticed one thing. on the top board, eprom "16" looks like it took a knock, the legs are slightly bent, but still socketed correctly. The culprit?

    50 posted, paypal gift please :)
