The Space Invaders arcade video game, celebrating its 40th anniversary, is a classic piece of software credited as one of the earliest digital shooting games.

Legendary arcade game “Space Invaders” was released by Taito in Japan 40 years ago, inaugurating the modern video games era.

A new mini arcade cab version of the iconic alien shooter is set to land, 45 years after Tomohiro Nishikado’s surprise hit changed gaming forever.
