Official Taito product – ¼ scale playable replica of the original 1980s Bubble Bobble arcade cabinet. Space Invaders Quarter Arcade is available from Numskull. A unit was provided for review. But I’d have bought one if it hadn’t been. Five invaders out of five rating. Etc. Portable and displayable – rechargeable internal battery lets you take it on the go, or display at home in attract mode.
Moreover, youngling me could never have imagined actually owning a Space Invaderscab. And I still don’t – but this is the next best thing. It’s a great reminder the classics are classics for a reason, and when I forget that, it’s probably because I’m not experiencing them in the best way. It’s also the one retro gadget I’d rescue from my house if real space invaders descended. Which would be ironic –doubly so if I then ran into the street and bumped into a trundling tank with a vertical turret that reloads infuriatingly slowly. Still, at least I’d be ready for them now. Every Quarter Arcade is about capturing a piece of gaming history. We are as true to the original machines as possible. sees the 45th anniversary of Space Invaders, the seminal arcade game that sent video gaming mainstream. To celebrate this, Numskull Designs has announced two new quarter scale cabinets, carrying Space Invaders and Space Invaders Part II. Bigger than the replicas you’ll find in a local branch of Game, these cabinets are highly detailed replicas.

I’m passionate about the continued growth of the Castle Quarter – trading at Castle Arcade for the past 40 years, I’ve witnessed its hospitality-driven transformation. If you’ve ever wanted your own arcade but don’t have the real estate, small scale replica machines are an option. And what better way to start your collection than with a Quarter Arcade Space Invaders miniature cab? The main reason is the original cabinet uses the Pepper’s ghost effecttechnique. The game is reflected from a screen at the bottom on to a mirror, making the invaders look like they’re floating in front of a giant glowing moon. Artwork is redrawn by hand, based on the original cab art, and the machines are then 3D modelled in-house by our incredible design team. It’s a long process, but worth it when we end up with the most accurate replica arcade machines you can buy. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you.As we look to the recovery of our hospitality and tourism economy in Cardiff, the addition of a new all-day destination in the heart of the Castle Quarter will be a huge asset for the city,” he said. My experience has shown that with sympathetic development, the historic arcades off High Street are perfect locations for some of the city’s most exceptional hospitality. We continue to stream huge investments into the area and are always looking to expand here. With substantial skin in the game already, that’s testament to our faith in the continued evolution of this historic part of the city.
