Space Attack

  • Manufacturer: Sega - Gremlin / F.lli Bertolino
  • Year: 1979

Here is another version of the best known Space Invaders, this time manufactured by SEGA. Apart from the spaceships  shape (friend or enemy) the game is the same: you control a spaceship at the bottom of the screen trying to destroy the enemy horde that advances zigzagging; we can defend ourselves behind barriers that are consumed by friends and enemies shots. Sometimes on the top of the screen an UFO pass through the screen that, if you can destroy it, gives points. Unlike the game it is inspired by, Space Attack at the end of the level (when all enemy spaceships are destroyed) brings a last UFO into the screen, moving randomly across the screen which, if not hit in a few seconds, runs away; a sort of end-level bonus.

This version was produced in Italy by F.lli Bertolino under license. It is very similar to the original game apart from the front panel. The control panel (originally with two buttons for movement and a third to shoot) has been replaced with the US panel that mounts a more comfortable two-position joystick. The side art is a bit worn but in good condition. The game board is available both in black and white and in color version, the one in our hands is black and white.
