A space invader with a gambling factor. Or the blinds are closed and you can capture the whole invader, or you have bad luck and the blinds are open and you can only see what you see here.

Due to covid-19 I was forgotten to visit this re-activated space invader in the 16ème arrondissement. The re-activation is aronnd two years ago before I visited this one. According to Invader this is a CAMO space invader because it has the colors of a streetname sign.

The original of this yellow space invader in the 16ème arrondissement was deleted in the year 2008 but came back re-activated in July 2016. Great work of the re-activator of this work. The reason for the re-activations is not only the game FlashInvaders but also the will of the fans to bring back the space invaders in the street from the perspective of cultural heritage.

A space invader in a Mediterranean atmosphere in the tiny sea harbour of Vallon des Auffes. A harbor only used for pleasure boats. It's hard to get close to this sea reflecting space invader but it is easy flashable for FlashInvaders.
Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 3 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again.

The first space invader installed in the year 2015 was this one. The game FlashInvaders gives you the message "HAPPY NEW YEAR" when you flash this one. I was here in the Winter so I had to come back in the Summer with real fountains.

PA_583 [20 points]
Because of the addictive online game 'FlashInvaders' I feel myself urged to revisit a lot of Paris space invaders. Also this one on a not so beautiful location hidden behind Gare Saint-Lazare in the 8ème arrondissement. This Pac Man space invader is almost 10 years active and still in good shape. Invader did a lot of Pac Mans around 2005 and this one is one of the examples which is still visible and "flashable".

In August 2006 Invader installed Q-Bert at this corner, codenamed PA_683. For years I thought this one has been deleted till Denis invited me to flash this one in the early morning of 11 February 2015. PA_683 hasn't been deleted at all but is hidden behind a marquise of bar restaurant La Dernière Séance which name is quite appropriate for this early morning adventure. Despite of the fact that I just started with the game FlashInvaders I was invited by Denis to join with some fellow space invader hunters, the 'Top 10' scorers of that game to 'flash' the hidden PA_683. My overnight for work in Paris allowed me to gather with the other space invader enthusiasts at 06h30 in the early cold Paris morning. A ladder was arranged with enables the others to scan Q-Bert PA_683 which is normally hidden from view.
FLASHINVADERS
FlashInvaders is a very addictive game by Invader : walk, explore cities in the world, find Space Invaders mosaïcs, shoot them with your Iphone or Andoïd smartphone and score !

Once again I like to thank Denis and the others for their invitation to share this special occasion to flash this one and to talk to the other pixel fans. I smiled the whole day as an after glow of this early morning space invader adventure.
I'm impressed by the scores of the 'Top 10' of the FlashInvaders game, number one has already scanned 750 space invaders (worth 22,200 points) and the others follow him with already more than 500 space invaders at least. I'm at rank 347 at the moment with 50 space invaders found (in 3 cities) and 1,680 points (13/02/2015).

The famous French tricouleur appeared as a space invader in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. How French can an invasion be? In 2011 however this one was deleted and therefor never 'flashable' with the application game FlashInvaders introduced in 2014. But thanks to the outstanding job of the re-activators this one is back in the street where it belongs and flashable.

This 'big' space invader has been re-activated by one of the many fans in August 2015 and unfortunatelly removed from the wall not long after. The original dated from 1999 and didn't survive till the space invader hunters of today have spotted them. This one was shortly visible and 'flashable' (the application game FlashInvaders) for the fans.
And don't worry about freshness of the tomatoes Burger King uses.

Another close-up of PA_1005 on the corner of the Rue Oberkampf and Avenue de la République.
