The Invasion

So its 1978, the most advanced piece of technology in your house is the toaster your mother bought from Wal Mart. The video game industry is unheard of and few dared to dream such an industry could even exist. But lucky for us, one of those few happened to be Tomohiro Nishikado, the man behind the Space Invaders!

The Space Invaders hit the scene in June 1978 and changed the fate of modern gaming as we knew it. Quickly becoming one of the most successful arcade shooting games, generating approximately $500 million in revenue. It has since become a permanent fixture in pop culture and the epitome of retro video gaming.

Its been 30 years since the original game came out. Since then, gazillions (yes gazillions!) of remakes have hit the market. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Space Invaders we're releasing a classic Space Invaders dedication t-shirt, featuring the aliens in all their pixelated glory.
