Invinco / Head On 2 (set 1)

Experience dual arcade action with Sega’s Invinco / Head On 2 (set 1), a compilation released in 1979 that brings together two distinct gameplay styles. In Head On 2, navigate a maze-like track as you collect points while skillfully dodging a pursuing vehicle – the "Jam Car" – that attempts to ram you from the opposite direction. Strategic lane changes and careful speed management are key to survival, as anticipating the Jam Car’s movements becomes essential for high scores. Invinco, on the other hand, presents a familiar challenge inspired by Space Invaders. Rows of aliens descend toward the bottom of the screen, each requiring varying numbers of hits to destroy – some even transform into bombs! A blinking row and rolling aliens add complexity to the shooting mechanics, demanding precise timing and careful aim. This single-player game offers a unique pairing of racing and shoot 'em up gameplay, controlled through a four-way joystick and two buttons, presented on discrete circuitry hardware within its Zilog Z80 powered system.
