NEWS Space Invaders Anniversary Bundle Announced |
 |

|
Twenty five years
ago, invaders from space threatened the world and a lone
cannon stood against the horde. Arrayed across the heavens,
the marauders marched downwards - slowly at first but as
their numbers dwindled due to the unerring marksmanship of
the defender below, the deliberate march would ramp up to a
fervent staccato. When the battle came down to one-on-one,
the last invader would perform a maniac's march in an
attempt to stamp out resistance. It would fail... but the
waves would replenish themselves anew, leaving the lone
cannon in an unenviable position...
Back in the day, Taito probably never envisioned a future in which
their game would endure the decades to dawn again on new
masses. Now that they've achieved 25th Anniversary status,
Taito deemed it necessary to throw in a little extra
something to mark the event. A Space Invaders keychain
wouldn't be good enough...nor would plushes hit the spot.
No, they needed something substantial that would rouse
buyers from their seats. Enter the Table Top Space Invader
controller. Fashioned in the style of the original Space
Invaders cocktail machine, the T.T. controller includes a
knob controller for maneuvering the cannon and a single red
button for firing. Fully functional and yet retro-appealing,
the controller appears destined for the safe confines of
Space Invaders shrines of hardcore collectors the world
over. All three of you.
As for the game itself, Space Invaders Anniversary includes variant
versions of Space Invaders and Space Invaders 2. |
