I was 7th Dan at Space Invaders. Used to have pints lining up on top of the m/c in the pub, till I'd give the game away after c. 5 times round the clock.
There was a different, better, more difficult version than the Taito in the pub next door to that.

I thought that game was execrable.

I loved the follow-up to this: Galaga.
