Cabinet InformationThe overall cabinet dimensions of Midway's upright model (number 852) are 68 inches high by 26.5 inches wide by 34 inches deep. It is constructed from solid marine grade plywood in a simple 'wedge' shape. The cabinet was base-coated a fire-engine red and the side and kickpanel artwork was stenciled in black, blue and white. The sides depict two yeti-like aliens poised to throw large missiles at the moonbase shown on the kickpanel. All front-facing edges were finished with 3/4 inch black t-molding that has a 'crinkly leather' surface. The control panel, the overlay for which came in at least two types: a metal plate and a mylar sheet, has a simple computer and machinery design surrounding the five buttons and has the full game instructions printed on the left side. Above this rises the combined monitor glass and marquee, a single large panel (available in both glass and plexi versions) with elaborate graphics of the alien marauders and the stalwart defenders all around the edges. The 'marquee' area at the top is lit from behind by five small incandescent bulbs. The game uses a monochrome monitor under an overlay with five color stripes: red at the top, orange (red dots on a yellow base), yellow, green (blue dots on yellow) and blue at the bottom. The images displayed are reflected off a half-silvered mirror, allowing the invaders to seem to float down out of a starry orange-wisp sky and lay seige to a blue moonbase. The stars are a cardboard wrap-around across the back of the machine, and the moon is a half-circle of plexiglass that hides a blacklight between it and the backdrop. Dekuxe Space Invaders came in a cocktail version as well (number 870). It is the same game in every respect, the only difference being the usual cabinet considerations (ie: no mirror and backdrop). It also utilizes a color overlay on its black and white monitor.
