Space Invaders is a Japanese shooting video game released in 1978 by Taito. It was developed by Tomohiro Nishikado. The game was so amazingly popular in Japan that it caused a coin shortage until the country's Yen supply was quadrupled. Entire arcades were opened in Japan specifically for this game.
​
Space Invaders was released for the Atari 2600 home console in 1980 and became its first "killer app", helping Atari to sell millions of units.
