Ok. It’s been a little while since I posted a game, but here is one that I just can’t resist. If you happen to be a fan of the old Space Invaders video game, you’re really going to like this little gem. This modern interpretation of the arcade classic adds some nice features. Most notably, gravity!

Some of you may have seen one of these videos before, as they’ve been watched a total of like 10 million times, but most people have not see all four of them. The choreography and coordination to create these videos are both incredibly creative and extremely well executed. A little about the project:
GAME OVER is one of the art projects developed by the Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND (NOTsoNOISY creative agency). It consists of a series of collaborative animation movies which revive some of the very first video games. The pixels are replaced by a group of real human-beings that are moving from seat to seat in a theatre during about 4 to 6 hours. Each “pixel” has its own rules and decides what s/he wants to do for each picture. Once all these pictures are turned into a short animation movie, a giant human-scale video game unfolds “live”.
The next in the series of Classic Arcade Game week is Space Invaders. I must admit that I’m not as thrilled with this version as it is not the actual original, but it is the closest that I can find online to the original.
