Space Invazn
Posted by tomo at 12:43 AM in . | 5 Comments
Taito of Japan is returning Space Invaders to arcades across the states for its 25th anniversary. Did they not realize the invasion had already began over four years ago, in Paris of all places? A few months ago, I noticed the invasion had reached as far as Ann Arbor, but who knows how long it had been up.
[Note: space-invaders.com is an important culture jamming site to visit if you hadn't previously been aware. It has even invaded the porn industry!]
I am SPACE INVADER, an invader of space, a virus that invades urban space.

You know what's funny, is that I never play games. At least hardly ever (I got a GBA SP a few months ago with 1 game but haven't played since). I just like the idea of video games as well as reminiscing on the past. There's just so much more to video games, such as the cultural aspect, which excite me more than the playing itself.

You know, rereading this post I realized that Taito still exists. It's wierd I thought they were long gone, but they haven't produced a game in years have they? Posted by: jt at December 8, 2003 11:34 PM |

I don't know if they've made any new games, but they still seem to exist as a company. You know what they should really bring back is the game that was the basis for "All your base"... Posted by: agent1073 at December 9, 2003 10:26 PM |
