Please, i need some help with this handheld, it´s called Space combat and doesn´t work, but the man i bought it said that you can shoot the invaders and you receive points. The machine is from 1978 and in the back says: Made in Japan, Shinseikiki (ANOA)
Please, help me!!! i didn´t find anything in internet!!!!

Thanks

The game was also released by Entex as Alien Invader, seen here:

As for why it's not working, that could be a lot of different things since I believe the game is mostly mechanical. What does it not do? (Nothing at all, or makes sounds but just isn't working right.) I'm located in the US, if you are interested, I can try to fix it if you want to send it to me... That's about all I can suggest. I see the Entex version forsale very rarely (but it usually sells cheap).

Hope that helps some... Rik

hmmm very interesting. It reminds me of Bandai Attack Invader in that it looks like the electromechanical games (like Tomy's) you'd see back in the day before electronic games really took over. Only these 2 are obviously based on Space Invaders

Thanks rik, but i´m from Argentina and if i send the handheld to you it costs one arm and one egg :/ . The Entex handheld it´s similar to Space combat, but what the hell is Shinkeikiki or ANOA, a japanese company?, and what is that thing of electromechanical, i don´t understand nothing of handhelds. :/
Thanks for all
