   Ewww, we'll have to agree to disagree on that one! "Tandy Invaders" was   
   my favourite, although Dick Smith here in Australia sold a rip-off with   
   slightly different graphics as well IIRC. I seem to recall a version for   
   the PMC-80 (Model I programmable character generator) as well...   
      
   There was, IMHO, only 1 other worthy port and that was Space Intruders,   
   by Doug Kennedy / Adventure International. Perhaps superior to the   
   aforementioned Tandy Invaders in several ways but nonetheless not a   
   sentimental favourite of mine. If you haven't played it, do yourself a   
   favour and try it out - it's very very good as far as TRS-80 arcade   
   ports go!
