Title: Attack In Space by Tomy *Pocket Arcade*
Post by: DarthNuno on August 06, 2011, 07:33:19 PM

I'm happy to get back that Attack In Space by Tomy.
I had that one in the 80s, but it was broken very quickly (He did not resist the playground...).

Anyway, got this working one  :P  :arrow:

Slim model  :P  :arrow:

Fully mechanical... no battery! Already very ecological  ::)

Invaders look like the Galaxian bees...

Easy to play... only ONE button : FIRE!  :arrow:

Made by Tomy , in the collection 'Pocket Arcade' (two other games are in that collection).

Game originally released in 1982... yes, very long time ago ... I was 9 years old  :-\

Now have a look at this video to see how this game look like  :arrow:

I have a Blip/Blip-O-Mat, also by Tomy, which is kind of an EM Handheld Pong, quite funny:

Just ran into a variation on MP. It's called Turtles. I think the game play is totally identical, except graphically of course. Hope to receive it tomorrow/saturday. Was not on the wishlist, but It happened when shopping a Pengo...
I almost consider my collection complete now... (ahum... never say so) unless I find a decent Tomy mr. Do/Go sometimes for less than average (50€ instead of 150$). At least all the icons have been aquired.
