asteroid next to the shoe repair bar, in the Lobby of Kwik Save in Mold . I used to loads of odd jobs just to get some 10p's to play it on a Friday night when my parents went shopping. I can smell that shoe repair bar smell now !

There used to be a Windows version until the company that own the rights to it complained and they pulled the site down.

If you mean Space Invaders I have a download but you can only use it when online but its good and it works for me..

Space invaders... my all time favourite.

We had a pub machine in our student flat. Someone acquired it somehow and we used it to relieve exam revision stress.

IIRC I could exceed 150,000 points by the time we finished exams.

Forget the app !!! to live back in the 80's,you need. Old zx spectrum wait ten minutes to load off your tape deck and then play two games on its tight multi functional buttons then it crashes,they were the days,I had space invaders,pac-man and asteroids the best thing was I could programme it to make a trim phone sound
Happy days!,though I think I will keep the apple products

The Spectrum - blessed with Subsunk, cursed with That Game. The one that always went at some point to "Thorin sits down and starts singing about gold".

Galaxian for me, still play it now on the pc using mame, excellent game. The only other ones I bother with are Moon Cresta, Scramble, Gorf and Centipede.

One of my favourite arcade games was Pheonix

 

[Lanzecki]

Elite on the BBC Micro. The original and the best. I'd hate to think how many hours were spent on this. Now a day's my kids complain how it takes so long to 'get skilled' in MMO's (Massivly multiplayer games). The don't seem to understand that it too 4 days to save for a docking computer in Elite. Well, it did for me
