One shot: surround's sexy psych-pop Space Invaders

spaceinvadersatarihot.jpg

Mike Nowak manages to dig up the first version of this illustration I've seen that isn't a chroma-shifting animation. The most work safe of surround's otherwise not-so-much "ATARI is Hot.. series" that also includes Breakout and Pac-Man (which actually requires a DA account, click here to break the rules [it's not that bad]).

That version of space invaders is Taito/Bally/Midway, though. The atari 2600 version didn't feature that low/squat player.

I can't believe I'm that friggin' nitpicky.

Hey you two are right,
she *is* playing video games!

How could I have noticed, when I was so distracted
by that inaccurate starscape?

This gives a whole new interpretation of the Atari logo for me. Yikes!

I think that picture on the front with Styrofoam's comment on the back would make an awesome t-shirt
