TI Invaders (TI-99/4A) gameplay footage

                            

I played this game in the 1980s with the TI-99/4A (I guess that is the exact brand of TI he had) home computer of my older brother's (it is now 2019). When you finish a screen or some screens, that spaceship comes on (same spaceship as the one at 4:37 in this video, I think; not sure, and I don't have my headphones with me to hear the sound of it for more evidence it is the same spaceship). You would hit it, and it reverses its travelling direction, and shrinks in size then, as well. The best I ever did with that situation: one time, I hit that space ship, I don't know, maybe about 8 times or so I guess, where it was such a small spaceship or almost a dot (can't remember; and it was in the 1980s)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It shows I was good at leading the target (and lucky that time!).

EDIT: I believe that is the spaceship (at 4:37 of video) . But I remembered it to be yellow in color. Maybe it's just the television color adjustment??? But it's been about 30 years, so my memory could be incorrect about the color.

EDIT #2: It might or might not have been this: When the spaceship reverses travel direction after being hit by a shot of mine, it increases in travel speed, so that after I hit it about 7 times or so (I can't remember exactly how many times I hit it), it was going fast.

Evolution of Christie Monteiro (2001 - 2018)

I remember playing this in an arcade on Granville street in Vancouver, BC, Canada, for quite a stretch of time, until some years ago (it is now 2019). I would get the first place fastest time in completing the game with Christie Monteiro (on Tekken 4 or something it was), and NEVER EVER be beat in fastest time for game completion.

I can only complete the game with Christie Monteiro, not able to complete the game with any other character... So all my fastest game completion times would be with her, of course. And I am fighting against the computer itself, not against any other human, of course; that's what fastest game completion time is all about: fighting against the computer, getting to the end as soon as possible.

The only time my name left the fastest time #1 slot was when they unplugged the videogame or something, and it was all reset (and that would have been like months maybe it was on screen!!!!!)!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My three characters name for the fastest time was put as AIL (Ai first name, and L for first letter of last name). The game is probably gone now from that Granville street arcade. THE REASON I WAS ALWAYS #1 FASTEST GAME COMPLETION TIME was that I discovered all by myself a special fighting way with her -- the fighting way only works with her because every game character has their own particular fighting technique or techniques. I showed some other strangers who came to play the videogame at times, the same fighting way, and they could complete a round just as quick as me, or almost as quick as me... . But then a higher numbered Tekken game, the newest then, I suppose, at a Metrotown Mall arcade I tried the same fighting way with Christie at, during those same years, I could not even complete the game to the end, because this later game version was programmed smarter or different, I guess.

********** NEW INFORMATION BELOW **********:

I just went back to the arcade today (May 6, 2019), after about 5 to 6 years, I guess, not ever stepping into there. (Yes: about 5 to 6 years, I guess; not sure when; it could be much longer in time than 6 years, or even shorter than 5 years.) The Tekken 4 game (I'm pretty sure it was Tekken 4) is not there anymore... That's all I'll say.

 TIME DISCUSSED:

 When I got my best fastest game completion time, I completed that game in -- computer fighting time that was shown in the leaderboard -- in about the the 3 1/2 minutes (or was it in the about 2 1/2 minutes??!!!) mark. I might of never ever took a photo of the leaderboard ever in my life. But if I ever did take a photo of it, I for some reason deleted it!! So, because I don't have any photo of it, I'll continue describing the best time I ever had for my fastest game completion times. It looked something like this  -- or was it coincidentally one of these?!!! I can't remember for sure, but these are just two possibilities -- correct or incorrect -- but at least I believe it was in the 2 minutes or 3 minutes level:

2' 39"
3' 29"

Sometimes the game got reset, and the leaderboard was all wiped out, so I had to play again to get the fastest game completion time. I got always the fastest game completion time, after some tries, because to get a really good time I could be happy with, I must never die any round, and complete every round with every opponent perfectly quick. The 2nd best players always were later than me or much later in their time (for the game completion). Maybe the best the second-fastest-time players ever got, was in the 4 minute or 5 minute levels, if there ever was any time they ever got in the 3 minute level that I could get in (I don't think I ever saw that, though) !!!!!!!!!!!!!????? Every round I fought with each opponent was perfectly done as fast as possible in the situation..., never a round where I was defeated, with my fighting way. I will not reveal that fighting way. NOTE: I am talking about fighting against the computer's characters, not against any human, of course, for this fastest game completion time discussion.

About the Metrotown Mall Tekken game of a higher version then (again: about 5 to 6 years ago, I guess), I remembered something a day or so ago: there was something about the physical game console itself of the game in Metrotown Mall which was different with the physical game console in the arcade on Granville street (where I get my fastest game completion times on). That difference is something I will not reveal, because it could point in the direction of my unrevealed-to-you fighting way. Therefore, the game programming could have changed for this newer version, but there was a difference in the physical game console itself -- which I will not reveal -- that had a negative impact on my gameplay.

UPDATE on June 9, 2019: What I wrote above about the time (maybe around about 2' 39" or 3' 29") is factually true, but I was giving so much hype and hustling you all, sort of. The truth is: I am not good at all in a sense with fighting games compared to other good players, but I found a simple way that works for getting the fastest game completion time on that version of Tekken 4. But where I have talent and skill is in my quick reflexes/reaction time, talent in my own way of fighting. I still will not reveal my way of how to complete the game so quickly.

I got tired of good players in the arcades winning against me because they trained in something I never was able to train in (won't say what that is). I can train in that these days, though, I guess, but don't want to. So my hype in my original writing was getting back at all those good players that can't even beat my game completion time?

Samurai Shodown V Special (Arcade) - Genjuro TFP on Hardest Difficulty b...

I remember playing this in the Circuit Circus (I think that was its name) arcade in West Edmonton Mall in the 1990s (I think it was the 1990s). Genjuro was nice. I also played Samurai Shodown in Hub Mall (I think that was what it was called) at the University of Alberta (Canada) during the same years mentioned (though I was not a university student. :) )
