Summary
A Ramtex Space Invaders / Block Buster game . The case is made of plastic coloured black with one red and two white triangle push buttons for operation with a black background screen. The screen is a LED screen powered by 4 AA Batteries. Ramtex is the manufacturer, their name can be found imprinted on the circuit board inside the game. Interesting design, batteries load in the front and it has a little plastic stand that slides out on the bottom so the machine will stay balanced at an angle. It has two games that can be played "Space Invaders" and "Block Buster". It is awkward to play.
Provenance
Gift to the National Trust Museum of Childhood by Martin Wagstaff in 2016.
