Tokyo Skyscraper Attacked By Space Invaders

Thanks to Tokyopia.com for their article showing a massive Tokyo skyscraper with Space Invaders projected on the side of it, as part of Taito's celebrations for the 25th Anniversary of the all-time classic shooter. The special Anniversary Edition is being re-released for the PlayStation 2, and the remake has some interesting features: "You are in a 3D room... [and] can adjust the camera... [to] have the view you would have probably had if you were actually sitting at a real table top. While you play you can hear sounds coming from the other machines in the room." Special editions of the game also come with a classic tabletop controller, as Slashdot Games reported a few weeks back.

This is a story?

That some guys projected Space Invaders onto a building as part of an advertising stunt? Well let me tell you something.

As part of an advertising stunt a few years ago, FHM (UK) projected a picture of Gail Porter, naked, onto the side of the Houses of Parliament. Now that's much more of a story.

Where was Slashdot then, eh?

Can't do this in America

If you tried this in many American big cities, you'd have too many windows on the building shot out by passersby hoping to nail some aliens.
