what an utter con this game is.1036 needed to win 70p which means a 20p win if you don't  lose a life for about half an hours game play.

I covered this in a video on my channel a few years ago, as MFME emulates it.

From a factory reset it wanted £124 before it finally offered a £20 jackpot board.

I'm sure I've played a different version where your prize depended on where you got on the leaderboard

Thats sounds like a Pub quiz machine variant - they had a few games like that down the years

It was definitely a space invaders game, not questions. Maybe I'm mistaken - I usually am

I meant they had a few game games down the years, for prizes, with no questions.... lots of card based ones, some memory ones, hidden object ones. Tetris style and other games as well - the one where you have to destroy blocks with a ball springs to mind, so Space invaders definitely possible. 

Some of these had leaderboards, and after something like 200 games had been played, you could claim your prize.

(My mate had memorised one of the "find me" type games, so had the high score everywhere reasonably local.... just needed to wait for the game to complete to claim his prizes)
