If i had even minimum wage for every hour i played this in 1981, I’d likely have a paid for home right now.

PS Holy cow this was expensive.

Gee, I had one of these way back then! Still think it's around somewhere, I wonder if it would still work? And yeah, that was a big chunk of change back in the early '80s.

I remember this. I was 12 at Christmas of that year and I wanted a Space invader game as a gift. My parents took me to a Mall to see what choices there was.This was a higher priced game,but I remember T Cosmic Conflict being $49.99,even worse!I eventually received Bandai's Missile Invader, which was middle-of-the-road at $19.99.Cheapest was Tomy's games,like Blip and Hit and Missile, as low as $9.99!I still have Missile Invader,it's on the coffee table in my living room.In fact, my grand daughter plays a round once in a while.
