Tokyo -- Japanese video game maker Taito has announced that it will once again sell its classic "Space Invaders" arcade game in the U.S., in part to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the game's release. The company signed an agreement with fellow Japanese games firm Namco -- which has operations in the U.S. -- to manufacture and sell around 10,000 new "Space Invaders" machines, at about $2,800 each. "There has been a rebirth of classic video games in America," Taito spokesman Kengo Naka told Reuters. "We thought it would coincide nicely with the 25th anniversary of its debut in the U.S."
