    Default Space Ranger Cocktail game

    Anyone ever seen or hear of Space Ranger arcade game? There is one for sale by me in a cocktail table, but th guy has some crappy pictures.. Not really sure what it is.. can't find it on KLOV or any other searches.. Looks like a Space Invaders game.

    I don't recognize the name (possible it's unknown or he was mistaken?) but it looks like one of the many, many Space Invaders bootlegs.

    I love the art on the cab in the picture though- I'd grab it if it's a good deal.

    Maybe "Space Stranger"?

    The cab in your picture is much nicer than the one in KLOV. It's probably just another unknown variation. There were tons of them here and in Japan.

    I have an "Astro Laser" in the same cabinet, same artwork, etc. From what I can gather, Space Ranger is an invaders clone that puts your base at the top instead of the bottom. More than likely it has a clone Taito 8080-based boardset that resembles the 3-layer Space Invaders boards.
