Competition There's very little that will reduce the battle-hardened Vulture Central hacks to teary-eyed nostalgia. One thing guaranteed, however, to provoke an outburst of "when I was a lad" is the original 70s Space Invaders.

So, when we heard that Reg advertiser Rackspace Managed Hosting were willing to give one lucky Reg reader a fully-functioning Space Invaders arcade console, you can imagine the unseemly rush for a quick go on this vintage piece of kit.

Ah, 1978, we remember it well. When Lara Croft was just a twinkle in a programmer's eye, thousands of square-eyed teenagers were busy mispending their youth in front of this gaming classic. Down came the aliens, you shot 'em, down came more aliens... Happy days.
