“Space Invaders” Invading Again
Taito Resurrects Invaders
Japanese game machine maker Taito Corp. said on Dec. 5 that it plans to restart sales of the arcade game Space Invaders in the United States, almost 25 years after the game first appeared in video arcades, the Reuters news service reported. The game, in which a fleet of invading aliens tries to take over Earth, was developed in 1978.
Taito aims to sell 10,000 of the stand-alone game machines at $2,772 a unit, the wire service reported. The game will remain the same in this latest offering, but one play will now cost 50 cents, compared with 25 cents a generation ago.
