Taito just released a hot little Space Invaders game for the iPad.
Sure, Space Invaders HD is nothing new, thereās no new modes or re-imaginings of how to play the game, instead itās a faithful adaptation of the original title, down to the little 3D joystick you use to play.
But, this isnāt just an adaptation of the arcade machine, itās an adaptation of the cocktail table arcade machine. Whatās that mean? You can sit across from a friend with the iPad laying on a table between you and the game will rotate the view when itās the other players turn.
The game also includes a slew of bonus material, like the design documents used to create the original 1978 game. So neat, and not bad for $5.
