To be serious, there is a grill terrace behind our house that we don't use too often, I'm planning to convert it to a temporary permanent gameroom. :D

That's a great idea.
LOL! ;D

Finally I found an original pcb at Andysarcade.com and it's working!!!! ;D

The only problem is, that the upper and the lower tierce of the screen is a bit lighter than the middle one.(not caused by the colorful foils attached to the screen).
Any ideas, maybe a capkit? ;D

Cool !!

Somehow, I find "The Invaders" a much more "gripping" title then Space Invaders. I mean, everything was Space then.....
(Although honestly, SI probably simply started that).

Is it normal that it does not produce the "thud-thud-thud" stepping sound of the invaders ?
I have to say that that is one of the attractions of the game.... :D

I don't know if ithat sound is present or not in the Zaccaria version. ???
Edit:
Seems like it has to be there, but not present in mine :-\

Any idea with that screen problem?
Anyway thanks for lighting me on the missing sound André, to be honest I didn't realize it's not there. 8)

In fact, the sound seems to be completely different.

The other video (nice) seems to have the original SI sounds....yours sound different....

No problem. ;D
Meanwhile I contacted  Andy from Andysarcade and he informed me, that there is a pot on the pcb for adjusting that "Marching Sound".
I hope it's just a wrong setting.
Btw. there are at least 3 types of The Invaders pcb, I guess all of them have a bit different sound.

Cool that you got a PCB Bela!

i hope you get the marching sounds in, that really "makes" this game what it is IMHO

I found that pot, as Andy said it is only for the marching sound, you can adjust it separatly from the main volume. ;D




And the video:

Still have no idea what causes the brightness difference among the parts of the screen. :-\
