Retro excellence; a highly accurate emulation of an iconic 70's game.

"" Retro excellence; a highly accurate emulation of an iconic 70's game.""
Blast yourself back to the 70's and 80's! When games were simple but still very addictive. An accurate recreation of the VFD LSI game by CGL, Gakken, Tandy and other companies of that time. Fun for all ages with three difficulty levels. All those retro sounds and that vacuum fluorescent display are here. This was a classic and very popular toy back then. Now it is a rare and collectible item but YOU can own it right now!
*Screenshots show the actual app in action and original artwork based on the original packaging. See how close to the real thing it is!
These types of machines were made by companies such as Grandstand, Tomy, Entex, CGL, Tandy, Bandai and Epoch to name but a few.

• Accurate simulation of the classic handheld machine
• Full retro sounds
• 3 difficulty levels
• Simple and addictive
• Totally nostalgic

2. Switch on power.
3. Move the missile station lever from side to side and push missile fire button. (UFO; 10 points, Invaders;3/2/1 points).

Exact replica of the real game

I had the physical game years ago and this replicates it exactly! 100% realism to the actual handheld game (except the physical controls obviously!). The gameplay is identical to the original handheld game. Beats N Bobs are exceptional in attention to detail in replicating original games. Check out their other apps. (No I’m not connected to them or on commission!) :-)
