Did you know that Space Invaders turns 40 years old this month? One of the most popular and influential arcade games celebrates it's ruby anniversary in June 2018 having launched in Japanese arcades back in 1978.

Today, I play the original Space Invaders arcade game (or try to play it) and detail some of the history of the game including the world record financial success, the legend of Japan's 100-yen coin shortage as a result of the game, who was inspired to make games by playing Space Invaders and changes that designer Tomohiro Nishikado wanted to make. This is as much a let's play as it is a history lesson and ode to one of the greatest games of all-time.
