Screenshots
Based on the Taito table from 1978.  
This is a tribute to Taito's table, with new table graphics, since we couldn't find pictures of the real table. The ROM is also lost, so the rules are also similar of what they could have been in the real table.    

B2S and backdrop images redrawn by editoy. A picture of the backdrop was the only picture available of this table, and it is as close to the real one as a redraw can be.
Thanks to Carlos Guizzo for suppling the backdrop to editoy for redrawing.
The playfield was inspired by the backdrop image and colors used by editoy.
Thanks to foxyt for the DOF commands.

The Plastics were inspired of the Space Patrol comics from the 50's.
