Be honest: does anyone reading this blog post on Retronauts dot com not know about Space Invaders? Maybe you never played it yourself because you were born in the 90s, but you've at least heard of it, surely? If not, it's kind of a big deal!
Either way, this week host Kevin Bunch along with Diamond Feit (hi!), Brian Clark, and Matt Alt lay out how Space Invaders came about, the global phenomenon that it kicked off, and how it changed Japan forever. Also, if you take a drink every time we say the word "Nagoya" you will definitely see flying saucers.
Description: Aliens are on the move! Kevin Bunch, Brian Clark, Matt Alt and Diamond Feit talk about 1978’s Space Invaders and its legacy.
