Nostalgic gaming fans old enough to remember "Space Invaders" no doubt look back on it as one of the most memorable video games of years gone by. Japan's Taito Corporation created the arcade game back in 1978, and it has been a classic ever since.
This week Taito resurrects the "Space Invaders" title with Invadercade, which went on sale on Oct. 11. The device converts your iPad into a miniature version of a "Space Invaders" arcade game. Invadercade is an iPad dock built to resemble the retro arcade cabinet, complete with joystick and button for controlling the game as you would have years ago. Of course you'll need to load up Taito's Space Invaders HD app as well, which costs ¥450.
The device functions as a charger as well. So when you're not using your iPad, having it docked securely inside the Invadercade is worth doing. Besides it's blast-from-the-past appearance, Invadercade enhances your game's sound with built-in stereo speakers as well.
