45 years after Space Invaders first, ahem, invaded arcades, Numskull Designs has gifted a quarter-scale playable replica to the game's creator, Tomohiro Nishikado.
Numskull worked alongside Taito to «accurately replicate the original 1978 and 1979 arcade cabinets», which went on sale this time last year. After quite the wait, pre-orders are now winging their way to players in the UK and Europe, and US players should expect their mini-cabinets in the next few weeks.
After signing 78 of the Space Invaders and 79 of the Space Invaders Part 2 cabinets – they released in 1978 and 1979 respectively – Nishikado spent a little time putting the machines through their paces, as captured in the brief clip below:
«At quarter scale, I think it feels pretty close to the actual machine,» Nishikado said. «We hope that people who played the game in the past and their families will enjoy playing it.»

The 2023 Dead Space remake is widely regarded as one of the best games of the year, and it's now available for just $7.99 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members (and £7.99 for those in the UK as well).

So, just to recap and ensure you're following; this is the full Dead Space Digital Deluxe Edition, not just an upgrade, but the full game + digital extras as well, for $7.99 -- 90% off the MSRP, and $72 in overall savings. Wow.
