Itâs Wednesday night. You have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta, your all-Rush mixtape, and, now, this impossibly good Space Invaders clone built on Futuramaâs epic âRaiders of the Lost Arcadeâ vignette from the third season of Futurama.
Seven months in development, Shinobiâs Place has released âInvaders! Possibly from Space!â to the wild â free â for PC. It recreates Fryâs fight against Lrrrâs invading horde (âIncrease speed, drop down, and reverse direction!â) with so much more â episode dialogue, power-ups, and of course, the all-Rush mixtape soundtrack. That means at least three IPs infringed upon here. I can only hope that Taito, Fox, Matt Groening, and Rush can come to a quick agreement that something this awesome must be allowed to live. In case they donât, run go get it quick before it is C&Dâd to death.
