Space Invaders Making A Comeback… In The Original Form

Surprises

from the no-need-to-update-a-classic dept

There are plenty of old video games that have been getting an “update” lately. These are games that have the same title as a game from decades ago, but are otherwise almost entirely different. This isn’t a surprise, considering the vast difference in gaming technology. However, sometimes, people just want the original classic. Taito is planning to start selling the arcade machines of “Space Invaders” again – twenty five years after it was originally introduced. It’s not an update, but the same game that was such a big hit years ago (and one of the first video games I ever played). The only difference has to do with inflation. It’ll now cost $0.50 per play instead of the old standard of $0.25.
