In July this year it will be 40 years since the ultra popular video game Space Invaders first hit the arcades:

Arcade historians know that 1978 was a big year in arcade games and Taito knows it too since they released a game that year that put them on the map. Unfortunately Taito hasn’t done anything earth-shaking in the past few years but they will certainly be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Space Invaders throughout 2018. They’ve started by launching this special website commemorating the original; if you frequent modern arcades then you likely will have come across the new Space Invaders Frenzy by Raw Thrills.

For the record, the arcade version was released in July of 1978.

Any other Soylentils remember when this first arrived in the arcades?

    I hope you realize the joke was poking fun at the soylentils with "muh oppression" issues. If you did not expect that then the clues in the joke itself are what your brain considers normal / acceptable.
