Retroist Space Invader Podcast

In 1978 our arcade was invaded by Space Invaders and none of our quarters were safe.

On this week’s show we talk about the late 70s Arcade Classic “Space Invaders.” We talk about the company that built it, Taito. We talk about its influences and its legacy. How it did in Japan and the US and the differences with the various versions.
