My love of Space Invaders (mostly in its mosaic street-art form) is hardly a secret, I think its pretty amazing that there is a game out there that’s still popular, despite being older than I am, as Space Invaders is 30 years old, and 55DSL are celebrating this by releasing a t-shirt based upon the enduring arcade-classic.

It’s a very limited edition tee, seeing as it is only going to be on sale at a few retail locations around the world (list available on the 55DSL site), but the tee is being launched at the 55DSL store in New York tonight (April 30th) between 7pm and 9pm. Yup, that is pretty damned limited. I’ve attached the flyer for the event (beer is mentioned, not sure if its free or not!) as a thumbnail so that you can get the details if you’re interested, because I think you might need to RSVP. A game has been commissioned just for this event as well, which I’ve embedded below. Bizarrely, the game is not based on the original game, but does use the official characters.


The tee itself.is pretty cool, a kind of ASCII take on the 55DSL logo made up of a typical scene from the game. No word on price, but its probably fair to assume that this won’t be going for $10.
