It’s the 40th anniversary of the Space Invaders video game. When it came out in Japan, it was so popular that it caused a coin shortage in Japan since back then, videos games were operated by a coin where people would play them at a cafe or some type of public area.

Still best game ever. I have an Atari greatest hits with a bunch of games programmed in, and that’s one of them. Me and my daughter play for hours.

Spent a lot of time and quarters on it, back in the day.

I recently played a clone version of it where it was pretty much the same specs as the original lo fi version. I have to admit that it’s a good game and challenging.

I was never a Space Invaders or Centipede player, but I dropped a small fortune into Pac-Man machines and another little-known game called Wizard of Wor that they had at a watering hole near where I worked. Wouldn't mind having all that cash back now! :wink:
