So next on my trip down hand held electronic game memories I purchased the Grandstand Invader From Space, I was not lucky enough to get the more expensive Grandstand Astrowars. However this was a good second. Again boxed with instructions, although the only thing not working is the sound so I need to dive in an figure out why its broken. @rubber_jonnie, was this the one you mentioned the other day?


A very simple game with coloured acetate over a VFD


And the full manual:

My friends had Invader From Space game. And Scramble.

We had FireFox F-7.

@Icky

Yes, I remember that one well!

Looking at Astrowars, the one I'm thinking of is very similar, but narrower. Will have to try and find a pic.

Nice! Also well preserved box and game you have there @alexh

@Icky I expect the parents ripped off the cable to the speaker :lol:
I had this one back in the day, lots of fun.

This could well be parental sabotage @Higgy
