Galaxy Invader. All info from wiki.

Fire Away was the first Tandy game to hold the name. Released in 1981, Tandy licensed the game from the Japanese company Gakken who created and sold the game under the name Invader. The game was also licensed to Computer Games Limited (CGL) as Galaxy Invader.

Galaxy Invader.

 

The following year, in 1982, Tandy introduced the next Fire Away under the title Cosmic 1000 Fire Away. Like the first game, Tandy licensed it from Gakken who sold the game as Galaxy Invader 1000 while CGL also licensed the game, selling it under the same name as Gakken.

Galaxy Invader 1000

1984 saw the introduction of the Tandy Cosmic 3000 Fire Away game. Like the first two games, this was a licensed product from Gakken and thus it used the same basic styling as its fore bearers. Gakken marketed their game as Galaxy Invader 2000.

Tomytronic 3D

The Tomytronic is a series of portable, handheld devices released by Tomy The device featured a strap so the player would be able to wear it around his or her neck in between playing. The Tomytronic simulated 3D by having two Lcd panels that were lit by external light through a window on top of the device. Released in 1983, it was the first dedicated home video 3D hardware.

Also Tomytronic made a game of the same name but totally different.

Grandstand BMX Flyer takes pride of place in my small collection of old electronic toys.

See the attachments below for my flash .swf file which is a piece of work to re-create the game in flash. (use cursor keys for the controls)

The .swf file should open in IE, it works OK on mine, but opens up in the old desktop version of IE.

This will bring back some memories for any of you who had this game.
