What is the game playing in the cab that Tom tips over?

Cool thanks Randy- is that one of those answers vintage gamers know by heart? Or did you have to see the cab in the video first?

That was actually my favorite Tom Petty vid until the Don't Come Around Here No More one came out..

Weird. I had an Astro Invaders cabinet that had been converted to a Twin Eagle.. Ended up selling it. Maybe I should've restored it and advertised it on eBay as "featured in a Tom Petty video!!!"

Always stinks to find out that kind of info after the fact!

I had to look at the video. But I played this one a bit in my youth as I was a big SI fan and I remember how this one was sort of space invaders-like. I also run across it every time on my way to Astro Blaster

For those too lazy to watch the video...

I ID'd it mostly from the Stern-shaped cab. That and a trip to KLOV.

ALERT ALERT VERY DIFFICULT GAME IN SECTOR 1

I can't get past sector 4... I don't even think there is a sector 5. I think they programmed sector 4 to be so hard and not give you enough time you can't even get past it that they didn't even bother with 5.

Glad to see I found something that hasn't already been discussed a bajillion times! Thought you guys would like to see that- and thx Crowquill for the captures.. I didn't even think to do that!
