This belongs to my Dad. Found it recently in a pile of old stuff. It used to entertain me for ages when I was a kid :) One of my best memories of childhood. It looks a little worn out, but still works great after a change of batteries (LR1130). The melody is "When The Saints Go Marching In", if I'm not mistaken.
Hope you like the video.

Back then we played this with the first and second fingers of one hands.
this was great in the day, back in the early 80's.
yeah the good times! :)
I once played this game for about nine hours straight. My brother saw me playing it when he went to work in the morning, and I was still playing it when he got back. I just got fed up eventually, I had beaten it. In the end I just put it down and watched all my lives go. The score was on 880,220. I wish I'd taken it to a million now, but well...
like a boss!!! ;)
I did the same thing when I was about 12, wanting to see if the score would display 1000000 but I gave up around the 444000 after a few hours. I always thought I was faster using one finger on each hand.
I clocked this game in the day. Great memories.
I've since learned that my parents had a "healthy" discussion about whether they would kick me off the game. I'm so glad they didn't. I guess I was at it for 8 hours or so. Crazy really.
My kids figured out which buttons to push to manually play the melody, just like I did in the 80's. After all these years I can still remember the sequence:
1345
1345
1345
3132
3321
3554
345
3131
last set should be 3121
@@MattDavis_BeechingsGhosts I just tried it out and I believe you are right. Nearly 40 years I misheard it. The difference is quite suttle.
Yeah, we used it to play all sorts of songs. 1 is middle C. Play 1543285432854342 🙂
I had one.. my first for school.
Loved this, played it to death. Counted to get the most 'n' command ships with sequences adding to ten (1 then 9, or 2 then 8 etc) to get max scores....and learnt all sorts of tunes to play in the melody with 1 being middle C. Awesome fun machine
Wow I use to play this game back in 1981 or 82. Thanks for uploading
Fun times! :)
About 40 years ago these machines help a school chess team I coached win a state championship. How? My team had an edge in skill but was still losing critical matches. Then I realised there thinking and reflexes were too slow. I introduced the number invaders machines and after a couple of months, the team results started to match their skill level.
Number invaders may be considered old hat these days, but back in the early 1980s these could improve your reflexes and basic maths in a very short space of time.
Thanks number invaders 😊
i took mine apart and reversed the polarizing film inverting the display to black background and clear numbers. Getting the most "n's" perfect scores was the object of the game. Taking it "round the clock" for it to go back to the start at level 1 took a while, but happened regularly.
I used to take things apart too. I had a little Turtle Bridge game in 1983. After my sister in a rage threw it against a wall I decided to inspect it. One wire had disconnected. I wish I had kept it now. It was just like this one th-cam.com/video/UuVS3wOomGE/w-d-xo.html
Me and my sister played this back in the day
Yes I remember this game from my childhood. My classmate had the calculator.
I had 2 pcs of them and still workable. Amanzing! 1 for me; another belong my brother. Great memories.! Thank you for this movie.
I have 2 too! Both are my Dad’s :)
I had this as a kid in the UK. Eventually I killed the calculator. I managed back then to get around 500 000, but when I got a new one a few years ago I played untill I got bored. My all time score is around 750 000.
I still have my original calcs plus some new ones. Oh happy days
0:11 sütaş ayran, sütaş ayran, sütaş ayran içeceksin, sütaş ayran sütaş ayraaaan, içtikçe iyi hissedeceksin.
Whoa this was the game back at primary- intermediate. Late 70s 80s, Loved it.
Had one of these cool game
Played this game to death back then. Just found it in a box still with original batteries. Switched it on and it still works. How is that even possible? New toys and batteries last about a month if you're lucky.
Can download off Playstore and Apple Store. Called "Digi Invaders"
Waouuu quels souvenirs merci de ce partage
Oh my gosh - I was telling my daughter about this calculator I used to have as a kid (at the time, the coolest Christmas present ever !) and here it is on You Tube - thanks for sharing it. I was a demon at this game, got up to Stage 9 or something like that ! Happy memories ! Where can I buy one ?!?
lol stage 9?? that was awesome!! Well, you could probably check out ebay or forums or even vintage stores if you're interested in getting one. Good luck ;)
I clocked the game. Would take hours to play. Some bugger at school stole it. Loved playing it
On the game, the 'n's appear when a calculation to ten has been made, your example doesn't show this. Just look for pairs of 2+8, 1+9, 3+7, etc or other patterns of 2+3+5. I used to get screenfuls of 'nnnn's and the closer they are to the lives bar, the higher you score.
FruityFilm Thanks for the amazing info! I truly forgot about this lol... it really has been too long ago. I'll try to add this part into the video soon :)
cool info! :D
we used to clock the game. Take it past the maximum level and it would return to the start again.
Another classic casio calculator of the 1978 era was the Casio ML-720 'ML-Tone' calculator (credit card sized with slumnim panel and 8 digit LCD which also had the tone generators on each numeric key. I recall the demo sheet went:
1155665 4433221
5544332 5544332
1155665 4433221
!
Used to play with one hand
Same
i remember this calculator
Wonder if they still have calculators with this game on it lol
I don't remember *anyone* playing with both hands.
I had one of these. It got stolen at school so I got bought another one. The second one seemed slower & easier for some reason!
３６年前の記憶がよみがえりました・・・・兄が友達から借りてきてそれやってたなあｗ
漫画ゲームセンターあらしでもこのゲーム登場してたはずｗ
懐かしいね ~ (๑′ᴗ‵๑)
+boysandcakes I have purchase one from eBay =)
Cut the rope of Anthony that's lovely!!! Have loads of fun :)
+boysandcakes Thank you This video remind my mum the music this calculator have, my cousin baby love to listen it! Thanks =)
나도 갖고있음~
멋진 게임계산기
I bought one of these from a friend when I was in school. I'd have been around 14 years old. Thinking about it now I realize he probably stole it from a shop.
復刻するぞ
Hated this number attack game ... gave me so much STRESS! LOL
R6ex and the speed increases as you level up... almost heart attack hahaha
@@boysandcakes still a cheaper way to vent frustration (when you throw/smash up your calculator) compared to the modern day version of throwing your keyboard and smashing up your expensive 34" Acer Predator gaming monitor, when you lose an online match ... LOL
I never played the game calculator before but it was from japan
Me is Cambodian
Mg past
SL model
Way to procrastinate during math homework in the 1980s lol
Elmo Missing!!! Who knew a calculator could be the biggest distraction lol 🤣👌
boysandcakes yeah it’s funny calculators can run these types of games especially running on such limited operating systems from the 1980s
Elmo Missing!!! 80s were the best, in my opinion
Hi, can you please tell me what batteries it takes? I just found my old one but none of the batteries we have will fit in it...
Hi, the MG-880 takes 2x LR1130 batteries :)
Does anyone know where I can get it from. I used to play it too, when I was a kid. I loved it

Were is that so called ‘space invaders’ game huh,i didn’t and i don’t espect any graphical resamblence of it,but i was atleast expecting moving dots side ways,,??!! mmm.
What's the bgm？
o
What batteries does this calculator take please ?
Hey Neil, it uses LR1130 Batteries (LR54) x 2 pcs. Do you have the calculator too? Loads of fun :)
hey people, how many points did you win? my record 512.000. around 6 hours continuous play. anybody more?
I was aiming to clock it but realised short of half a million that though I could have done it, it wasn't worth it. Thinking back now, that would have been difficult without food and toilet breaks and also my mum telling me to get off of it
@@NoProb4Rob my daddy told me, if i will not reach 500.000 as a minimum, no water, no food, no toilet. :-(
@@eskeskeskeres You must be kidding me?
how to win the game? seems fun
Practice. Lots.
