PA_1357 [30 points]
A space invader with a bluematic background in the European neighbourhood of the 8ème arrondissement of Paris. Would Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known by the alias Lenin, the Russian revolutionary communist, be happy with this space invader in the street named after a city he was named after?

A revisit for the game FlashInvaders (as we speak on 30/12/2019: 117,430 players, more than 6,140,000 flashes) to the center of Montreuil. Almost 10 years after my first visit. Number 750 is on a kind of hidden location. And we have a generation who never used a floppy disc.

This red "here you are" space invader has the funny discription in the application game FlashInvaders, "PONT OF INTEREST!". Which is true, very true.

A space invader hunt in Paris and around Paris took me to Montrouge, the termination point of métro line 4...
Location: Place Émile Cresp, Montrouge, Hauts-de-Seine (92), France
Coordinates: 48° 81 '86" N 2° 31' 94" E
Reason: A day trying to catch up in the field of space invader photography and FlashInvaders. A lot a bit outside Paris, like here in Montrouge. But also in Issy and Bagnolet. In total I found 13 space invaders (of which one 're-activation') and in total 560 points extra on FlashInvaders and climbed up from rank 300 to rank 276. More than 80.000 players at the moment so I am still one of the high scorers.
Montrouge: Montrouge is a commune in the southern Parisian suburbs, located 4.4 km from the centre of Paris, France. It is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe. After a long period of decline, the population has increased again in recent years. Population around 50,000 and elevation 67–85 meters above sealevel. Montrouge is served by the Mairie de Montrouge station on Paris Métro Line 4, and by the Châtillon – Montrouge station on Paris Métro Line 13.
Mairie de Montrouge: At the background not the city hall but the cultural center of Montrouge. the Mairie de Montrouge station was opened on 23 March 2013 as part of the extension of Metro Line 4 to the south. Two further stations (Verdun Sud on Montrouge southern border, and Bagneux) are due to open in 2020.

Another new to my collection space invaders. Thanks to the brilliant work of the re-activators who put up this outlines 30 points worth invader with mirror eyes. Located in a relatively quiet but wide street in the quartier Javal: in the 15ème arrondissement in Paris. The original was made in the 20th century.

A Rubik space invader of which I have never encountered the original in the year 2006. Must have been deleted not very long after invasion. On Google Streetview, PA_651 was already removed in May 2008. Located in the Northern part of the huge 16ème arrondissement.

PA_1126 [30 points]
The first space invader I flashed in Paris with Invader's online game FlashInvaders. A game to spot and "flash" the street mosaics of Invader with a smartphone. You fill gallery, score points and compete with other players. In total there are over 2,500 players around the world who spotted already over 71,000 space invaders and scored over 2.4 million points (data of 03/02/2015). I scored 30 points with this one and 100 bonus points because this was the first one in a new 'city'. For the last 10 years I spotted more than 790 Parisien space invaders without flashing them. Some revisits will have to be done the coming weeks, months, years.
This one is located in the 8ème arrondissment.

PA_231 [20 points]
A re-activation which is very hard to capture on picture and also hard to 'flash' by the online game FlashInvaders. A sunscreen which wasn't there during the first installation in 1999 is very annoying in the way here. And the mirror eyes of this one do therefore not work properly (reflections etc.) but another never seen space invader is back in the streets again, this one is in the 2ème arrondissement.

PA_183 [10 points]
For years this almost 16 years old space invader was hidden away under a layer of white paint and not unrecognizable as a space invader. At least not for outsiders. Space invader fans in the possession of the book "Invasion of Paris" knew where to go over the years. But always seen with the white paint.
Since the game FlashInvaders was introduced it was necessary to have a well recognizable photo for the appllication to gain the 10 points this PA_183 is worth. And so it happened that one of the space invader fans went out to clean this space invader and safe it for the future and made it 'flashable' for the ones who play FlashInvaders.
