The game Space Invaders has
been a hit ever since it was released by Taito in 1978. In the
original planning for the game, they had planned to have the
aliens be human
soldiers. Taito figured that they did not want to send the
message that shooting humans was ok, so they changed it to
aliens. Shortly after being released, Space Invaders grew in
popularity. In 1980, it was licensed for use in the United
States. It was released in coin-operated arcades, the Atari
2600, and the Nintendo Entertainment System. Throughout its
lifetime it has generated more than 500 million dollars in
revenue. |
