Saw these at Spencer Gifts tonight.(made by Excalibur)
Both come in nice full art boxes too..

Those have already been mentioned in this thread:

Though I'll admit I think they're worthy of their own (but I'll defer to the decision mods in this section). These are based on the casings of the early 80s Coleco tabletops, and I'm seriously wanting the Space Invaders machine just to put in the trophy case with all of my Coleco machines to make people say "WTF!??" LOL
I see what I want for Christmas!

I'm actually more interested in that one... :D
There was another topic about these somewhere, and people said they were pretty crappy, gameplay-wise.

hmm interesting, anybody know what kinda display that is? looks like light-thru LED, i'd be impressed if it was VFD like the coleco ones. i wonder if this has anything to do with the whole coleco/rivers west thing. anyways who owns those games, taito at one point had space invaders but then it was midway? konami and sega both had frogger i think...confusing.

Taito owns Space Invaders (it was licensed to Bally Midway for production of the coin-ops in the US), Konami owns Frogger. :)

And to be quite honest.. the Space Invaders game itself is the same Space Invaders game that Excalibur has been putting out for what seems like the last 10 years (I first encountered it in a keychain around 1999). In other words this arcade cab is same game.. different shell. Kinda sucks. However, I have to say it does look nice :)
see?

very close to the size of the Coleco versions..
Are they close to the size of the Coleco versions? :hmm: If so, I'd love to tuck the Space Invaders in with the rest of mine as well. If it's half the size or something, then I'll pass.

Yes..almost the same size..(seems a little wider then the originals)

As will I :-P
Anyone see these at more national stores like Wal-Mart or K-Mart? None of those other stores are in my area.
