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

POWER SUPPLY COMMENTS:
The power supply is fairly similar to the multivoltage ones being used by most manufacturers.
It is not a switching power supply as was formerly used by Taito, which should be good news to
anyone attempting repairs. There are 4 voltage indicator LEDs which can be helpful, but as
always, the voltage should be checked with a meter even if the corresponding LED is on.
In addition to the +5 volt and+ 12 volt adjustment pots, there are also current fold back pots
(identified on power supply as +SI (Rl8) and+ 121 (R25). These pots are adjusted and sealed by
