The game is probably the father of the phrase “kill martians” meets 30 years.

The 33-year-old programmer Tomohiro Nishikado was who in 1978 launched the Space Invaders machine to the Japanese market, the kind of game that became more complicated when moving from level and the new system, for the time, playing time you’re able to endure until he lost the lives of a video game Space Invaders simple and addictive.

Nishikado wanted to produce a game better than their favorite, a game in a bar to move the ball go breaking bricks. The result was the Space Invaders, which had such an impact that until the Japanese government had to increase the number of 100-yen coins into circulation.
