The Apple Watch has been a popular technological companion since the first generation was launched in the first half of 2015 [37]. Series 10 was launched over a week ago with notable new features alongside the stylish black colour option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, much to the approval of the technology gurus [9]. A few days afterwards, a port of Space Invaders, the classic shooter game from 1978 on My Play Watch was revealed on its Kickstarter page. Space Invaders: My Play Watch, a fascinating specimen was created by F84 with the cooperation of Taito [11] [14] [26] [27]. As intrigued and enlightened its backers seem [12], especially those who shall hopefully be rewarded with “Early Bird” packs this December [13], there is no doubt that many players out there would still prefer playing on a bigger screen by the power of two hands, yet I have nothing against this concept in terms of combining old school gaming with the functionality of modern technology in some way [11] [26] [27]. Shortly after the reveal of a crazy collaboration between Chucky and Hello Kitty that blends cuteness with creepiness [16] [17], we shall discuss the potential of the first edition of Space Invaders: My Play Watch before more tricks and treats throughout this year’s Halloween season [11] [23], including Venom: The Last Dance [24] [33], The Sims 4: Life & Death and a bloody version of the YouTooz figure based on Blitzo from Helluva Boss at this year’s Comic Con in New York [35] [42].
It’s always fun to play Space Invaders [34]! It’s always fun to play Space Invaders [34]! It’s the old-school title… Retro gamers enjoy… Those darn creatures must be destroyed [38]! [11] |
In conclusion, a port of Space Invaders on the My Play Watch seems trendy in a nerdy way that blends nostalgia with proactivity and is about as quirky as playing Pac-Bar, a unique version of Pac-Man for the Touch Bar on a MacBook Pro [1] [11] [13] [44]. The goal to fund the combination of old-school gaming and reliance on a smartwatch was achieved and if its sales are successful enough alongside mostly positive reception [27], there could be another edition of My Play Watch featuring Pac-Man, another arcade classic that we ought to celebrate the 45thanniversary of next year [2] [39] [40]. In the meantime, Fortnite fingers are building islands for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to fight on and it will not be long until some of our Disney devotees will celebrate the launch of the tenth season of Disney Speedstorm featuring Jack Skellington and his love interest Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas while Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft premieres on Netflix [5] [6] [7] [8] [18] [19]. Some say that being too nostalgic can distort proactive thinking, leading to bitterness and toxicity [15] [21], but not many can go wrong with the classics, yet being modern can at least be swell sometimes and trying something new can be fun.
A brand new way to play Space Invaders [11]! A brand new way to play Space Invaders [11]! On my new little screen, It seems pretty surreal, Sort of like a smartphone near my heel [36] [38]… [27] |
