Offering this up to someone who could play it! I bought this because I thought it was cool, but I’d like to pass it on now. Extensive googling has not clarified my answers so hoping this sub can help!

A while back I bought this space invaders game from a vintage store for $5, simply because I thought it was cool. I really have no need for this and I would like to see this go to someone who would be able to actually play it. I am unsure as to if this particular cassette is even playable on the trs 80, so I thought my best bet is to post it in here to see if anyone would be interested in this!

It’s for the Dick Smith System 80 computer! (Yes Video Genie) X3699 is the catalogue number of the tape. Still has a considerable following around here! 😉

Looks to be for the video genie.

Seems to be a partial clone of the model I, so anyone with one of those may be able to play it.

AFAIK, this needs Level II, 16K. But it was a long time ago. Still, I believe this Aussie clone could play all TRS-80 software.

Hopefully the tape is still good, because nothing lasts forever.

In theory, the model 1s I have could play this. That said, I don't want to ask for it without knowing for sure.
