Have four slots open and would really like 3 dif williams titles. So that leaves one. I was going to get a galaga or a space invaders. I would be open to other Suggestions as well. I like fast paced shooters mainly. Would also like to stay in the '79-'83 range
 
If you like fast-paced I'd think Galaga is the obvious choice?

You could look for a Satan's Hollow.

Gorf is also a really good one.
 
I have a feeling that I'm going to be the only one that chooses Space Invaders.

I can't imagine playing SI a lot unless you have nostalgia for it. Galaga is a much more engaging game.
 
Yeah i kno SI isnt really fast paced lol. I love it tho for its great presentation (mirrored view, blacklight etc.) and the great braze kit available.
 
If I had a museum....Space Invaders.
In an arcade....Galaga

Although Galaxian is the much more challenging game.
 
While the game play on galaga is faster than SI, SI slower pace does lend itself to drinking games with friends. You can switch off players in SI. Hard to do that with galaga.

Single person play galaga. Friends over SI hands down.
 
Depends on the arcade decore.
The looks of the cabs are very diffrent.

I like the classic feel of Space Invaders.
But it depends on who will be playing the game.

Multi-Williams, Space Invaders with a Braze kit and a Galaga, then you still have 1 slot to fill :)

Oh and Spiders is a fun fast paced shooter from that era that gets over looked, I just picked one up and its pretty cool.
