    yea spotted that a while back.
    It is a beauty.
    It'd be a shame to see it butchered .
    But Space invaders doesn't have that long lasting appeal for most .
    Theres a thing called a "braze" kit that adds a load of similar games onto the original PCB and saves scores etc.

    not far from my work. my go have a look at it. no interest in space invader though but just out of curiosity :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,771 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Would be nice to see that cleaned up but space invaders is only a few minutes joy for myself. End up being a dust collector if I got it

    Stick in a LCD and a 60 in 1 and double your money ;) I like the artwork but iam torn over the shape of these cabs, look a little too boxy to me... maybe thats the appeal to some folks.

    I think they use the mirror trick so the monitor is in the bottom facing up .
    Hence the boxyness.
    really cool effect tho.
    Asteroids deluxe is savage looking using this technique and black light.

    That cab is definitely an acquired taste but might be decent enough with a 60-in-1 for other left-right shooters like Galaga, Galaxian etc. Does it have the colour filter screens in it I wonder ?

    Black and white according to the ad

    Yeah, it's the old trad Space Invaders cab, with the colour strips on the screen to give it that coloured effect.
    They replaced it with the updated colour screen later, but it's not the same!!

    A batch of galaga pcbs (for repair) on ebay : http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sop=10&_nkw=galaga+mpu&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m194

    pretty cheap and fixing it is pretty well documented in a lot of places nowadays

    Doing a retro clear out over the next few days as I have way too many duplicate consoles and games and other bits and pieces.
    Few nice bits in there and I'll be adding to it as i clear out more stuff.

    Wouldn't mind that Delorean just don't have the spare Lego cash right now


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,771 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Only selling because I have a heap of bills due. My car tax is already a month overdue haha


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Have stuck my Xenoblade up on Adverts, as I don't think I'll ever get round to it. I know it's up for a high enough price, but open to offers, and usual A&R regulars get preference!

    Car tax is one of the reasons I'm not buying.

    So I managed to find an even better condition Wily Wars last week from a guy in the UK.
    I'd already picked up a fantastic copy from one of the regulars here, but just couldn't resist this new one :)

    So, just a heads up to anyone interested. I'll be selling my older wily Wars later tonight on adverts and the marketplace here. It will be a very fair price, especially on the marketplace.
    Might be a nice one for someone's collection here at a relatively bargain price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,846 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    Megaman The Wily Wars - PAL Version

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057738036

    350 Euro

    Will leave it just on the marketplace until tonight to give anyone here a chance to nab it, and then stick it up on adverts as well for a higher price.

    Hopefully can sell it here, as adverts is getting worse(was offered 5 euro a week for the satellaview :0/ )
