from the seller:
"hi danny,in attract mode it only tells you the points of each alien,and scrolling words "we are convoy charger" and, by goddard games .it doesnt acually tell the name of the game... ill try post some more photos,cheers"
hmmm. in galaxians it says " we are the galaxians" and then has the points, the first being for convoy chargers. im wondering if maybe its a colour game with a b & w monitor? goddard games isnt in klov.

my powers of deductive reasoning tell me this is called 'space alien' (",)

Definitely a Japanese SI clone. My friend's cabinet, while gutted, says "space fever" on the control panel. Those things are really funky looking, very retro. Very weird monitor layout too-it was a 13" monitor, mounted vertical for playing, with a ton of dead space on either side of it. I was thinking that mounting a big horizontal flat panel (because the cabinet is very shallow) would make a great machine...

That style cabinet is pretty much what all japanese cocktails are in. I always thought the joysticks would be incredibly uncomfortable like they are. BTW, Space Fever was one of the very first Nintendo games. The cocktail cabinet is identical to Donkey Kong's. The DK one even got a US release. This one is a bit unusual in that the control panel isn't centered.

That's quite possible. Being a clone they also might have cut color out to save costs on hardware. I'd guess the game code has the color info since it looks like it's a Galaxian hack.
