Old Age Alert

Kotaku reports on the last playable Space Invaders console in Japan.

I remember seeing the first of these show up in Britain back in the '80s-- especially the ones that doubled as pub tables, so you wouldn't have to give up valuable drinking time to play them. What a sense of liberation they gave us. No more tedious socialising and chatting up girls. At last, we could get down to some serious, utterly pointless time-wasting while getting pissed out of our gourds. So many 5p pieces, so few brain cells left.

Now all that is one with Nineveh and Tyre.

Excuse me while I hunt for my cane.
