Space War (c) 1979 Sanritsu.

Another copy of "Space Invaders" with different art and a slightly faster shooting capability. Additional items which make this game unique:
1) Numbers in the bunker to denote rack number.
2) The occasional timed round, with a bonus plus a splash screen for finishing the rack.
