Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Jaycar site down in AUS/NZ - but you can play a game!!!

Check this out.

Go to either jaycar.co.nz or jaycar.com.au, and you will get a maintenance message, but scroll down a little and you can play a game of Space Invaders!

Cute touch to a site being down!

Thanks Grogster  

  That is nice. Takes me back to my time as a draftsman at Enterprise Unlimited.

  We has a side gig repairing the table top "space invaders". The hard part was
  the bugs where intermediate so we has local kids come in and play a unit
  till it failed. If it wasn't for them playing I'd have gone nutz. I could only
  play for around 20 to 30 minutes. Some units went days before failure.

The Australia site worked from here (UK) so I didn't get to see it.  :(
Not tested the NZ one as it's food shopping day.
