If you don´t find a better one then your only other choice is to go with quarterarcade.com´s repro CPO which isn´t perfect either.

Don´t want to hijack this one, but speaking of games banned in germany: i think everyone with who had a C64 or 2600 played and loved River Raid:



River Raid was the first video game to be banned for minors in West Germany by the Federal Department for Writings Harmful to Young Persons (German: Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Schriften). The indexation notes of 19 December 1984 explains that, in River Raid, "minors are intended to delve into the role of an uncompromising fighter and agent of annihilation (...). It provides children with a paramilitaristic education (...). With older minors, playing leads (...) to physical cramps, anger, aggressiveness, erratic thinking (...) and headaches." (BPjS-Aktuell Heft 2/84)

I just read that "Space Invasion" was made because the awesome german "Bundesprüfstelle" indexed Commando for "glorification of violence". But replacing soldiers with white robots didn´t help. They indexed SI as well.
Somehow this didn´t stop us from playing those games  :lol:

Loved that game on the C64 (the trick was to use the auto-fire on your joystick when you reached a gate)

The C64 version started to stutter when the soldiers ran out of the gates and there was a spot next to the right door where the enemy soldiers just could not hit you. So all you had to was staying there and keep firing. But you really had to stand exactly at that pixel, otherwise it would´nt work.

nothing beats Bob Roberts's cross shipping policy!

When i tried to order from Bob back in april this was his response:

"We're not shipping overseas any longer."

But when i read about his experience with the buyer from UK i can totally relate.

As for Rich, i only ordered 2 CPOs so far. There was a delay caused by him thinking he replied to my mail when he didn´t.
After we clarified this, the whole process went smooth. This was in september.

Congratulations!

One of the best game music ever !

I loved it on the C64, never played it on a cabinet.

Nice catch !

The C64 tune has burned into my brain since back then.
I remember rolling the score on that game while my father was yelling at me from downstairs because it was getting dark outside and i still hadn´t swept the road in front of the house, which was my duty every saturday  ;D
