Space
Invaders For Java Enabled Wireless Phones |

It is now almost a quarter of a century since the original version made its 1978 debut in the arcades of Japan. Space Invaders immediately proved to be so incredibly popular that it created a countrywide shortage of 100-Yen coins, as players pumped money into the machines to enjoy the thrill of the game. Since then, Space Invaders has generated a significant amount of revenue. The mobile version of Space Invaders is a faithful recreation of the original arcade game, featuring full sound, advanced scoring systems, and a unique use of the phone's vibrate function. "Space Invaders is one of our most successful games and well worth porting to other gaming platforms such as cellular phones," said Shinichiro Kasama, Senior Manager at Taito. "We've chosen Digital Bridges to do this because of their reputation for game quality." "Space Invaders
is a game that everyone knows and loves, a true arcade classic and one
of the cornerstones for our Java strategy," says Anders Evju, Vice
President and General Manager, North America at Digital Bridges. "We
are delighted to be able to offer both black & white and color versions
of the game, and we know it will be an instant hit with mobile gamers
everywhere."
