The year is 1978. On planet Earth, all is calm Children are asleep and parents are eating dinner. but in Japan, something strange is happening. High in the sky, a UFO appears. Soon a second one comes, then a third and fourth... it's an alien invasion!
Thankfully the aliens aren't real but part of a new video game called Space Invaders. Invented by Tomohiro Nishikado, it became the most successful video game of its generation: it made $2 billion in five years. Tit followed games like Pong (1972) which revolutionized computer games: now you could play them at home.
