Description
Space Invaders, released by Atari, is a landmark in video game history, pioneering the shoot 'em up genre and laying the foundation for many gaming mechanics and tropes that are still prevalent in modern video games.

Its massive popularity upon release in the late 1970s played a crucial role in establishing video games as a global entertainment medium, significantly contributing to the growth of the video game industry.

The game's iconic pixelated alien design and distinctive gameplay not only became a cultural icon but also influenced the development of both game design and the broader pop culture, symbolizing the beginning of the digital entertainment age.

The influence of Space Invaders in pop culture is epitomized in the work of French urban artist Invader, who uses mosaic tiles to create pixelated artworks, resembling the game's characters, and installs them in cities worldwide, blending digital nostalgia with contemporary street art.
