This is a fun game. I like the rock n roll alien theme. I often wonder if the idea for the bonus ship flying over real fast in SI was taken from this game as it has a similar feature. I am not sure about that though since this game may have come out right around the same time as the original SI release in Japan. I know some of you own this game. Lets see some pics! Mine is not as nice as I wish but it has worked well for years (now I went and jinxed it!):rolleyes:

Man that is so cool! How many EM games do you have? I wish I had more. The artwork on that is awesome. I've seen a youtube vid on it, and the gameplay looks fun, too.
 
Man, that looks sweet! The blacklight art looks really nice as well.

How hard is the upkeep for games like these?

btw, it was manufactured in 1971 (according to klov) so your theory may hold water.

Is there a video of this anywhere? I'd love to see it in action...
 
After watching that video, the game does look pretty neat. Like mentioned above, the sense of depth is really what makes EM games like this unique and memorable.

Come play it if you are in Austin some time. It's at my shop right on IH35 and 183.
 
This particular machine is on my EM wanted list. The artwork is really neat. Great find!
 
I am in absolute awe of this game. I would love to find one of these. That side art kicks more hardcore ass than Frizzy with a little boot on the end of his schwein. Me likey.
