Name the machine on The Professionals!

Just watched an episode of The Professionals. It was based around a Bowling alley. The one game here is obviously Breakout, but what is the other one?

Midway 280 ZZZAP?

Well played!

Well played sir! The episode is called Stakeout and it's on Youtube. There is another machine and a couple of pinballs if anyone wants to investigate further!

I've got the entire set of series on DVD if someone wants a better capture (tho not sure how much clearer it will be given the video quality of the time).

The first season has been restored and released on Blu ray. That would be even better!

 

[Urgentemente]

Oh, didn't know that, gah. I can foresee spending of money..

Talking of cabs on TV...

Chase HQ was featured on The Classic Car Show on Channel 5 the other.

I looked on Amazon, you can actually get the first 3 seasons. I've got the first season of Space 1999 on Blu ray which was restored and released by the same company who have done The Professionals and it looks stunning.

There are some HD Youtube ads for the new Professionals Blu rays.

Just ordered the 1st two seasons, will have to wait till next payday to get the 3rd I think.
The little promo clip on Networks' site looks amazing, as do some of the review comparisons shots,.

I also have the 1st season of Space 1999 on Blu-ray and it's amazing quality.

 

[giantkeeling]

Awesome! I might have to buy them too!

It's great watching old progammes like that and seeing arcade machines

There is a classic Minder Episode and at the start Arthur is playing Space Invaders, he's not very good, then some lads bet him that they will beat him, only for Arthur to Woop his ass on it

Absolutely is! Yeah I've seen that episode - I'm sure it was a Zac 'The Invaders'. I think maybe the BBC had that one cab in their props dept, as I've seen it on Only Fools.. in the pub, and again on Brush Strokes!

I've got some DVD's of a series from the 80's with loooooads of machines on...
