Blistered Thumbs

Space Invaders... Man was that game the sh*t! My uncle Frank was one of the first people in South Africa to get an Atari 2600. I spent many a rainy afternoon playing Space Invaders until the blisters on my thumb wept. They were good times...



I tried to get a damn flash version of Space Invaders working, but the bloody script does not want to play ball. However, if you’ve a sudden urge to kill some alien scum then get your arse over to spaceinvaders.de.

Check out these extra cheesy Atari ads that we in South Africa never got to see:



And an ad for a later version of the Atari (now with colour):

  1. oh no man, did you have to go and mention space invaders. The next thing I'm going to be doing is most probably duting off an old mame emulator to give Ghosts 'n Goblins Elevator Action, 1942 and Xevious another spin.

    Well, thank you bastard, there goes my night.
