I'm searching for an arcade game I played in a travel lodge once. It was like Space Invaders with super graphical/gameplay twiddles. Basically, these guys marched down the screen and you shot at 'em. The crunch came when you left yourself with four or five of the same type at the end of the level - They all swarmed together and became the mothership from hell. I particularly remember these little green aliens (red hearts?) which razed you with a lethal laser if you didn't hit them dead centre. Nasty little blighters... I'm positive this wasn't Super Space Invaders (the one with the cows) and it certainly wasn't any of the black/white/coloured plastic efforts. I'm fairly sure it was called something like "Space Invaders 'xx". Virtual-twinkie to the arcade-head who can verify that it existed. Virtual-subservience to anyone who can tell me that it's emulated somewhere. Cheers, James (~mrfrosty).
