Before I get into this, I will state that I love The Terminator movie. It is one of my all time favourite Sci-Fi movies and I am not trying to destory or damage the movie in any way by analysing the paradoxes that this movie contains.

The emulator contains nine different official and unofficial versions of SPACE INVADERS including a few of the better so called 'Super Space Invaders' bootlegs. The emulator supports a number of other features including optional bezels, backdrops, simulated colou...
