I meant to add a note saying I wasn't sure which column it was because
I couldn't count fast enough. (The invaders kept moving. 8) It only
happens in one or the other, so it's probably 25.

I'll try that! I haven't had any problem with these game in the past.

Coleco drawing them. As I told Erik, my Supercharger won't work with
my 7800.

It's your game, so you decide. I was just tossing in my $0.02.
