While Space Invaders may bring back heartwarming memories of quarter-fueled gaming for most of us, government officials don’t find the potential invasion of a hostile extraterrestrial species very humorous.

Space Invaders fan art is weird, because no matter the quality of the art, it always looks better than the game. It almost seems like easy pickins’. That being said, this fan art is awesome all on its own, and especially so when compared to the flat, 2D single-color aliens of yesteryear …

The conversation I envisaged at Taito about this tribute, celebrating 30 years of Space Invaders, never happened it seems – parent company Square Enix has come out of the flutter, claiming the exhibit at Leipzig was planned without Taito’s knowledge or consent. But they didn’t pass comment on the art’s message. According to their press [...]

“What do you think would be best to celebrate 30 years of Space Invaders? Oh I know, let’s go to Leipzig and parody the destruction of the World Trade Center!” How I would love to have sat in on that meeting when Taito decided that this was a good idea, let alone a fitting tribute [...]

Throwing some game related art on a few tasty cupcakes is surely a double edged sword dipped in frosting. Part of you wants to admire the art, while the other part wants to eat the damn cupcakes.
