Talking to a guy named Stacy from UK and he is having some issues with
his monitor he said all he can find is the words "BRIMAR" on it.
I know its some kind of space invaders clone.

Its exactly what it looks like in the pictures...

A UK bootleg made by Century Electronics, a bootleg of Zaccaria's 'The
Invaders'.

99% of machines made in the UK are not in KLOV because they were
bootlegs or dodgy licenses, and / or nobody has pictures of them, or
knows anything about them... Plus, KLOV webmasters in the past have
generally deemed these kinds of descriptions irrelevant, boring or
innacurate in some way and have blocked updates. I used to sit on Klov
tidying up descriptions having written a large number of descriptions
you still see today on classic games, but nowadays they only encourage
the uploading of new pictures, so you can become an 'image contributer'
only.

Plus it isn't actually easy to add any new stuff or update old
innacurate descriptions on the KLOV anymore since its been closed off to
all but the webmaster who is obviously struggling under the volume of
'to do' tasks.

The KLOV maintainer will probably see this and sigh... but i've offered
to help in the past, but really, i'd like to see the old contribution
system re-instated, but the moderator who passes the stuff needs to
share the workload, then it'd work.
