The year is 1978, and Taito just unleashed this masterpiece on the world, Space Invaders. It’s one of the most culturally significant games ever released. Will they still be talking about the games of today in 40+ years? With full-size arcade machines still costing a small fortune, why not go miniature?
With this desktop version of the arcade classic, it’s the perfect distraction between those Zoom meetings or online classes. That being said, I’ve been sitting on the couch with it for the last few nights.
The kids have been playing on the mini version too, which really amazes me since we’ve got a full-size version I built earlier in the year 6ft away from where they’re sitting!
It’s a to-life replica of the original. With the right dimensions, the right sound, and more. The coin control panel is the power switch. There’s a little coin button next to that though.
You get a headphone jack and volume control. It runs from 3 X AA batteries (not included) or any standard USB cable.
You get an LED backlit marquee.
You even get a reflected display, just like the original!
There’s a classic looking set of controls too, with a stick for left/right and a single fire button. It looks fantastic!
The MY ARCADE Micro Player Space Invaders is available on Amazon for £56.95. However, they’ve got a range of other games available that are much cheaper too!
