Cosmic Alien

Now what do I win...LOL

It's from 1980- It's a shooting game and it is similar to galaga
BTW- from the looks of it it it looks like all the right parts are there the only thing changed is the marquee name

It is similar to Galaga but more like Galaxian, Galaga's predecessor.

I have found that a lot of those early space games (especially Universal ones), require a good 10 or 20 plays before you can really start getting into them. They usually really get a lot better once you have the shot timing down.

This cabinet is for sale on a dutch website. The owner pretends to know nothing about it or even if it works but on the picture I see some shapes that look like other cabinets...
I am also worried about the Kong jr marquee and our basement is overflowing with machines as it is now.

It would have been a nice project when the cosmic alien pcb was still in it!
