TODO:

* Add sound/samples


Bugs:

- beaminv, beaminva: Spinner controls problems. Kold666 (ID 03473)


WIP:

- 0.144u6: MASH added color overlay to Beam Invader. Changed description to 'Beam Invader' and clone '(set 2)' to 'Pacom Invader'. Renamed (beaminva) to (pacominv).

- 0.135u2: Fabio Priuli added driver data structs to Beam Invader.

- 0.134u4: Stephane Humbert put back the values for the spinner controls in 'beaminv' to the ones in 0.109u2 when it was submitted. The values for 'beaminva' remain unchanged. Now there still might be something wrong with the visible area as mentioned in the notes.

- 0.132: Tafoid and Fujix changed year to 1979 (Arcade TV Game List book).

- 0.115u3: Zsolt Vasvari modernized Beam Invader. Changed screen orientation to vertical and visible area to 216x248.

- 0.109u3: Stephane Humbert fixed dipswitches and added second player controls in Beam Invader. Changed description to 'Beam Invader (set 1)' and 'Unknown' dipswitches to 'Unused'.

- 0.108u3: Peter Townson added clone Beam Invader (set 2).

- 0.62: Zsolt Vasvari added Beam Invader (Tekunon Kougyou 19??).

- 20th July 2002: Zsolt Vasvari sent in a driver for Beam Invader.
