    Requesting some help from you nice folks...
    I'm trying to find an old (possibly early to mid 80's) handheld / table-top electronic game, but my fading memory is failing me. It might have been made by Grandstand (might not, sorry), but it's not Astro Wars or Scramble, but may have been in a similar type "cabinet" to Scramble... I think.

    The very vague and limited details I can recall are:
    • it had a rectangular play area,
    • it only used one colour in the display - that Astro Wars type of white / blue,
    • in the game you had to "dig" holes to trap the baddies then fill them in,
    • these holes were simple circles and squares.

    Sorry I know it's not much to go on, but any help much appreciated.
    Thanks, James
    Would it be lode runner?

    Thanks Cathal, no not that...

    after a lot of trawling through retro game sites I found it:

    http://www.handheldmuseum.com/CGL/EarthInvaders.htm

    There's one for £60 on ebay but I know nothing about how much these retro games should be. Really want to get hold of it so I suppose it's worth it to me.

    Thanks again...

    btw, sorry for the s**** description in my previous post, memory let me down
