Invasion Stratogy

Invasion Stratogy, manufactured by Komputer Dynamics Corporation and unveiled at the 1975 Chicago trade show, is a head-to-head pinball game featuring two players competing simultaneously from opposite ends of the playfield. Rather than sharing controls, each player's flipper buttons operate only the flippers facing their opponent, creating a competitive dynamic uncommon in most pinball designs.

The game's eight flippers, six pop bumpers, and two spinning targets support this two-ball, simultaneous-play format. Players can pursue objectives that disable their opponent's upper flippers and devalue their opponent's bumpers, adding a strategic, adversarial layer to the game. An apron design labels the players as the "Mindmasters" and the "Warlords," reinforcing the game's competitive, outer-space fantasy theme.

Invasion Stratogy's solid-state electronics and head-to-head format make it a distinctive design from the mid-1970s, though detailed documentation about the machine, including photographs and manufacturer literature, remains scarce. It stands as an intriguing, if under-documented, experiment in competitive pinball design from Komputer Dynamics Corporation of Indianapolis.
