## Galaxy Invader 1978 Description
"" Retro excellence; a highly accurate emulation of an iconic 70's game."" 
Blast yourself back to the 70's and 80's! When games were simple but still very addictive. An accurate recreation of the VFD LSI game by CGL, Gakken, Tandy and other companies of that time. Fun for all ages with three difficulty levels. All those retro sounds and that vacuum fluorescent display are here. This was a classic and very popular toy back then. Now it is a rare and collectible item but YOU can own it right now!
*Screenshots show the actual app in action and original artwork based on the original packaging. See how close to the real thing it is!
These types of machines were made by companies such as Grandstand, Tomy, Entex, CGL, Tandy, Bandai and Epoch to name but a few.

• Accurate simulation of the classic handheld machine
• Full retro sounds
• 3 difficulty levels
• Simple and addictive
• Totally nostalgic

HOW TO PLAY
1. Choose one of the playing speeds (1,2,3) slow to fast.
2. Switch on power.
3. Move the missile station lever from side to side and push missile fire button. (UFO; 10 points, Invaders;3/2/1 points).
4. Game ends when all stations are destroyed by invaders or when invaders capture G-zone and raise their hands in victory (maximum score; 199 points).
5. Before playing again, switch off power and choose playing speed.

If using with iCade or compatible controller, press the iCade button on top left and you can now use joystick and red fire(5) button. 
NOTE: pressing this without connection to a compatible Bluetooth controller will bring up the keyboard. If this happens just press the button again to turn it off.

### ***** "Exact replica of the real game"
I had the physical game years ago and this replicates it exactly! 100% realism to the actual handheld game (except the physical controls obviously!). The gameplay is identical to the original handheld game. Beats N Bobs are exceptional in attention to detail in replicating original games. Check out their other apps. (No I’m not connected to them or on commission!) :-)
-- M6COA, 2018-09-29

### ***** "Excellent"
This was the first ever electronic game I owned as a kid! This is a superb emulation that brings back all those old memories of the dawn of the video game era!

Trouble is, it reminds me of just how old I am now (:
-- ChuchyFace, 2014-01-07

### ***** "Brilliant"
Must admit i prefer the 'yellow' Galaxy Invader version as thats the one i had as a kid. But this is still a lot ot fun and worth picking up to help support the dev.

Funny that in the year 2013 i've got his great iphone device yet i'm playing old classics like ZX Spectrum games, Game n Watch 'homages' and tabletop style games like this. Love it
-- psj3809, 2013-10-29

### ***** "OMG make us a doneky kong sa well please"
Such a cool design, yes retro is cool. Not only cool but brings me back to a time when I used to beg my mum to buy me one of these each time we went past a specific shop. Now please make me a donkey kong as well!  10 stars.
-- Kandinsky II, 2013-06-30

### ***** "Proper......."
......old skool shooter like you used to play in Woolworths in the hope that you'd get it for Christmas. Absolutely love it for it's simplicity. The sounds alone are worth the entrance fee.
