Space Invaders is POSSESED by INVADERS from SPAAACE!!!
That's the only explanation I can come up with.
Recently moved all my games up here, love the new setup (video soon!) and all seemed to make it out unscathed and working except for my poor old Midway Space Invaders cocktail. It looks like it runs fine, until you start a game...
The invaders all have lines through their eyes, like they're hanging by them or swinging on them. The heartbeat noise is now a constant drone that makes me feel like my brain is being hacked. When they drop bombs and I dodge, they make holes in the line of pixels above the score at the bottom somehow. When I shoot them, I hit some invisible wall in front of them and my shot explodes on contact, no matter how many times I hit the same spot. I eventually hammered the button nonstop and hoped something would happen, and after hitting one spot about 20 times, the weirdest thing happened...
The Invaders got pissed off. I swear they did. They had been at the top the whole time, and now, about 30 seconds into the game, they started multiplying and dropping down to me. Not moving down, the originals stayed in their own place, but just producing more and more. They stopped moving left to right and just multiplied. In seconds my ship was stuck in a wall of invaders and promptly exploded time after time until I got the game over screen.
...
Yeah. Not even sure where to start here. Didn't think some of this was possible.
