Space Encounters

  • Manufacturer: Midway
  • Year: 1980

This game is one of the last based on the same platform that saw the birth of the famous Space Invaders. The game is a shooter similar to its famous brother but with two differences: the first concerns the perspective effect; in fact, the game simulates a race inside an infinite canyon. The second difference is fundamental and concerns the game mode. In fact there are no lives but there is a time limit to respect. In addition to the horizontal movement, it is possible to move the joystick back and forth to accelerate the ride in the canyon. When this happens, the wind noise increases and enemies come at you faster.

The cabinet in the collection is in very good condition, completely original and restored. The front bezel has been recolored with a variant of white similar to the original, not yet yellowed. The cabinet comes from the United States and a 220-110V transformer has been installed inside. Its rarity is matched only by its beauty…
