30 Years Since Space Invaders

[Patrick]

Times Online reports on the 30th anniversary of the birth of the classic video game, "Space Invaders."

Do you/did you have the game on a console?

Oh yes, for one of the old atari systems. Man, I could waste time in front of that. Ahh, memories.

Me, too. I played it on the Atari 2600.

Funny, that game is as old as I am....

I remember playing that both at the arcade and on Atari.

I wonder how old Asteroids is now? I used to play it more than Space Invaders.

[Patrick]

Yeah, I have it on the Atari 2600, as well.

According to Wikipedia, Asteroids was released by Atari in 1979. So, it's nearly 30 itself.
