Just when you thought the battle was over, we introduce Invaders Revenge
and the challenge ccntinues. Invaders Revenge is a super new game developed
-,.
in England. After months of highly successful collections, Americade Amuse - '

ment, Inc. purchased the exclusive manufacturing rights in the United States.
The game centers around different groups of Invaders trying to destroy your ship.
Their patterns get increasingly more difficult to destroy, especially when they
start shrinking and swelling .
4
Be on guard for Invaders sneaking down and stealing your fuel cells.

If they're not destroyed before reaching the top of the screen they fuel the
• t
mother ship which will start moving back and forth, firing fast missiles at you .
If it's necessary to go around another object, hold your fire button and your ship
thrusts upward. If you are successful you'll have the chance to maneuver your
ship into position to dock with your base for bonus points and fuel before you
resume battle. But watch out, this time as you shoot the invaders, they will
randomly fall toward your ship.
* Add new life to Space Invaders (Regular or Deluxe)
* Simple installation
* Exciting new sounds
* -Kit comes with new game board, program chips, new main plexi and control
panel, plus easy instructions

The following engineering changes have been implemented for improved
game usage for games using the new rectifier board AS-2518-54. For two
flipper games F4 fuse should be 5 AMP, 32 volts, 3AG. For three flipper
games F4 should be 6 AMP, 32 volts, 3AG. For four flipper games F4 should
be 7 AMP, 32 volts, 3AG. Games that this will affect arc the following:

"Frontier"
"Xenon"
"Flash Gordon"
"Eight Ball Deluxe"
"Fireball II"
"Embryon''
"Fathom"
"Medusa"

Midway has available now a new program for their hit video game
"Pac-Man".
8810 Dewees St.
Phila., PA 19152
The new program increases the difficulty of the game and adds a new
challenge to players already familiar with the original.
********
The new program kit consists of 2 Roms (PM2/24) that replace existing
Roms in locations 6E and 6H on the main logic board.
When installing the new memory devices, it is recommended that the
difficulty jumper (S•TJ March '81) be removed. This jumper may then be
replaced after the players are proficient with the new program for an extra
added degree of difficulty. Contact your distributor for availability.
