We used to play for ages on TANKS in the local pub, trouble was if you got too energetic with the joy stick you could spill the ale. :y

My mis-spent youth was in a snooker hall, over a Burtons Taylors at the bottom of the road.

Used to think snooker was the be-all and end-all of my life.

Used to repair these as well as ping pong, asteroids, pacman and galaxian

Later on used to convert galaxian and pacman to donkey kong

Good old days 16 lads in a workshop, loads of banter, late nights out drinking and curries

Still good friends with a couple of them as well.

I can tweak the Space Invaders ROM to allow 2 missiles on screen at the same time, makes it so much easier to keep going level after level  :)
