Description
From the "Insert Coin" exhibition at La Monnaie de Paris A cocktail arcade terminal from the 1978 game Space Invaders. Original model by Midway MFG, with green cellophane strips on the screen to create color. This game was one of the first shoot'em ups in history, and left its mark on a whole generation of gamers. Its influence is unprecedented, thanks to a score-saving system. Several games were developed from Space Invaders, including Defender, Galaxian and Aero Fighters. In popular culture, many series use Space Invaders as a backdrop, and the game's aliens have become a well-known video game icon, inspiring the street artist Invader in his mosaics. This arcade terminal has all its original system and is in working order. Note some wear and tear to the plating on the back. H : 162.6 cm W : 67.3 cm D : 86.4 cm Weight : 117 kg
