Grandstand Invader From Space

I made this video for my childhood memories blog http://susyranner.bravejournal.com
If you can be bothered to watch the full four and a half minutes you will see how exciting the game gets when you reach 1,000!
Well, not really exciting - when you reach 1,000 the game is over.

I got a few tabletop electronic games and have had some fun playing this one despite it's basic irritating sound effects.

I read somewhere that a retro dealer in the High Street would pay between £40 to £60 for these toys!! :)
