- In this video, I take a close look at Numskull's take on Taito's Space Invaders cabinet. Does this pint sized reproduction arcade cabinet faithfully replicate the arcade experience? (spoiler - it does, and then some!)

With the saucer count being 22 and then every 15th after that, the first 300 points is actually available after the 8th shot, and then every 15th after that. It's just that it can be difficult to clear enough invaders after only 8 shots to hit the saucer, so mostly people go to 22 shots the first time. Saw that in a 'how to' space invaders magazine from years ago.
Cool - thanks for the additional info - might give that a try!
Really nicely done. Can you plug a game controller into it for alternate controls, and can you output to an HDMI monitor and have both screens working at once?
Sadly, no. Based at least partially on polling, Numskull has basically decided to only include features that were on the original machine-so no HDMI out. The one exception is the TMNT 4 player cabinets that have USB ports to make it more realistic to crowd 4 people around a 18” tall cabinet.
That said, the size and level of detail on these makes them extremely playable-it really “feels” like playing on a real machine surprisingly well.
I don’t have space or money enough to collect all of the Quarter Arcades, but I absolutely love the few that I have.
@@ThorKCade Thank you. That's a shame as it would have been nice to boost it's accessibility and visibility at a show I was thinking of. Perhaps not too hard to mod I suppose.
@@ThorKCade Absolutely! I have the Numskull's Pacman and it's absolutely fantastic to play it! No need for a HDMI output at all! BTW great Space Invaders rewiev!
