Space Invaders Dice Game | Space Combat on your Tabletop? | GenXGrownUp

[@Emceemur]

That’s kinda cool for a board game night I suppose. What really blew me away was the video. You do a great job intensifying the play with sounds and camera angles! Might pick one up if like Bob Barker, the price is right....

[@GenXGrownUp]

I've played 2-player and it's fun that way, too. Thanks for the comments on the editing, Mur -- we keep trying to push the envelope by learning from others and our own mistakes to up the quality of these nerdy videos! If at least one person notices, then we're doing something right! 😀

8:56 Video game sounds added for dramatic effect

If you cover one of the sheets with a clear film (or whatever) and use a dry eraser marker you wont run out of sheets

[@GenXGrownUp]

Good tip!

[@garykulovics7705]

Can't believe I just bought this game after watching this vid but boy I am having fun playing it believe it or not Great video Keep up the great work.

[@GenXGrownUp]

Thanks, Gary. It's a good one!

I have a project on 70s technology and I'm doing a hole PowerPoint on space invaders

[@GenXGrownUp]

Get out! I would love to see that if you're willing to share. Toss it to me at [e-mail] if you can! 😀

[@DanofWar101]

This looks cool but board games for me are played with others... I wouldn't play this by myself! But the video was amazing! The music that intensifies and then seeing the dice rolled again and again... I could almost feel the tension!!! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@GenXGrownUp]

And that was a fun one to put together as well, Dan. I've since played it multiplayer and while not a house favorite, it's a fun casual play.

[@HiddenGameRoom]

The game is pretty cool.. and it plays well. I might get one if I find it cheap at wal-mart or something.

[@GenXGrownUp]

They've got it at Amazon amzn.to/2HlUwhP but it's still $20. Maybe it'll drop in the future?

[@HiddenGameRoom]

On a side note.. do you ever eat at Blueboys sandwhich shop? I went there a few times.. just wondering if it is still as good as it used to be

[@GenXGrownUp]

I've never been, but I looked it up just as soon as I saw your message. It's downtown and I'm in south Jax so I hadn't stumbled across it before. It was just added to my to-do list. Thanks! 😃

[@HiddenGameRoom]

LOL cool... let me know how it was!!

[@krb7694]

What kind of an arcade setup do you have there? Would love to have one. Recommendations?

[@GenXGrownUp]

Hi, Kris. You can get a little closer look at my cabinet in this very old video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gprFp6FtbLyKr6M But it's a conversion of a late 2000s Hamster Ball turned into an emulation cabinet. I just have a traditional Windows PC in it running Hyperspin as the front end. I really need to give it an overhaul, but who has the time!

[@boardgameman6298]

Absolutely loved it on my Atari 2600!

[@GenXGrownUp]

Same here!

[@QunMang]

This does seem like an interesting product. Speaking of other tie-ins, one that comes to mind right now is a Q*Bert card game I had back in the 80s. I don't remember much about it though unfortunately.

[@GenXGrownUp]

I never knew there was a Q*Bert card game. So naturally I went straight to eBay and found a copy! You cost me money, Qun Mang! 😋 Can't wait to check it out, now.

[@QunMang]

GenXGrownUp Err... Sorry..? :D

[@GenXGrownUp]

Don't be!

[@droogsurgeon1440]

Ok buying it. Thanks…

[@GenXGrownUp]

Haha, cool. I hope you enjoy it.

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

Could there be a blown fuse in the PSU or a problem on the main motherboard.

[@GenXGrownUp]

It might just be that I turned it off for dramatic effect. But who's keeping track? 😆

[@Videogamelover58]

Good video

[@GenXGrownUp]

Thank you, sir!

[@thanos4035]

Have you seen this one? No solo option. Captures the original video game pretty well, but not a whole lot of replay value unfortunately. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/223763/ataris-centipede

[@travis303]

Are there anymore arcade themed dice games you're aware of like this?

[@GenXGrownUp]

I've not come across any. 🥲

[@travis303]

That's too bad. Usually companies like this make a series. I think a game like Galaga might be good one to do. Though since Galaga ships don't go in a straight line necessarily, maybe hard to add that element. Maybe Space Invaders with its straight line aliens is just the only one you can do that with @@GenXGrownUp

[@Axos_Abode]

You talk about arcade games like they're an illegal drug.

[@GenXGrownUp]

Why's it gotta be illegal? 😜
