Bugs:

- beaminv, beaminva: Spinner controls problems. Kold666 (ID 03473)


WIP:

- 0.156: hap chnaged manufacturer to Teknon Kogyo, seen on Dracula titlescreen (another old game by them).

- 0.147u2: hap tweaked Beam Invader overlay.

- 0.144u6: MASH added color overlay to Beam Invader. Changed description to 'Beam Invader' and clone (set 2) to 'Pacom Invader'. Renamed (beaminva) to (pacominv).

- 0.134u4: Stephane Humbert put back the values for the spinner controls in 'beaminv' to the ones in 0.109u2 when it was submitted. The values for 'beaminva' remain unchanged. Now there still might be something wrong with the visible area as mentioned in the notes.
