SPACE INVADERS returning to arcades
Twebty-five years after the first space invader appeared in arcades, video game manufacturer Taito is bringing the galactic scourge back again to challenge gamers. New units of the classic arcade video game SPACE INVADERS will start to appear in North American arcades next year just in to to mark the original game's silver anniversary. As a bonus another classic arcade game is being included, QIX.

QIX is one of my favorite games of all-time! I hope this gets someone to put out a version of it on the PC.

1. Space Invaders Was Okay
But I preferred the pinball machines, pool table and "Tempest".

Try to walk away with a beer in everyone's hand and good feelings all around.

surely you've already glazed your eyeballs staring at the list of games it runs?

Me, I'm waiting for the Silver Anniv. of TIMBER.

And maybe MR. DO!

4. Actually I haven't
But I'm going to have to now. I miss the old-style arcade games. So many of them were totally unique. It was also nice to be able to play something that didn't take 100 hours to complete, like a lot of today's PC games.

3. Bring back Warlords!
That was my absolute favorite arcade game. I love the new stuff, but there will always be a place in my heart for the oldies but goodies!
