The Japanese company that developed the game back in 1978 is re-releasing it. The company plans to sell 10,000 of the freestanding arcade machines in the United States. "Space Invaders" was all the rage in its day, kidnapping countless quarters from kids' pockets. A game in 2004, however, will cost two quarters -- a small price to pay when you're trying to save the universe. Let us hope this doesn't foretell a re-release of the 1990 film "Spaced Invaders."
