The first time I entered an arcade I was 8 years old, it was 1993 and, despite having a NES at home, I was fascinated by all those lights and sounds at the same time. The adrenaline of the other guys, the tokens, the look of the boss behind his counter are images imprinted in my mind. Going to an arcade was like entering another dimension, an almost futuristic underground dimension.
I remember there was a more modern version of Space Invaders than this that I wanted to model and I loved playing it. So today, after "a few" years, I decided to create this icon of the arcade world, slightly worn, aged, but still full of the same charm of those years. For me this is a tribute to Nishikado's great intuition. By chasing his dream he changed the future.
