RE: Monitor Overlay

Are you sure? Space Encounters flyer has a very different look (more of a
trench with lots of right angles), although Space Encounters obviously has
an overlay.

Roy, it most definitely is not a Rip Off overlay. None of the (1 or 2) Star
Hawks I've seen had an overlay. Congrats on scoring one of the best two
player games of all time...

Could it be some aftermarket overlay for a Space Invaders clone? Seems to
have the vertical orientation.
