Space Invaders is an arcade video game designed by Toshihiro Nishikado in 1978. It was originally manufactured by Taito and licensed for production in the U.S. by the Midway division of Bally. Released (at first in its native Japan) in 1978, it ranks as one of the most influential video games ever created. Though simplistic by today's standards, it was one of the forerunners of modern video gaming.
NERD
NOTE: Within the first year of its release, Space Invaders had generated revenue ranging in the hundreds of millions of dollars — with the majority coming from teenagers and school children, who pumped millions of coins into the game at a frenzied pace. In Japan, Space Invaders caused a coin shortage until the Yen supply was quadrupled. Space Invaders became very popular in part due to its new style of game play. Up until its release, video games were timed to a clock, and once a player's time was up (plus possible bonus time), the game ended. With Space Invaders, the game ended only when the player had exhausted the three allotted "lives" or when the invaders landed on the bottom of the screen: a person could therefore play for as long as their skill level allowed.
