And it speeds up as it approaches

Taito says it will produce a run of ten thousand coin-operated Space Invaders machines for the US market, to commemorate the game's twenty-fifth anniversary.

The consoles, which will be manufactured and distributed by Namco — Taito no longer has its own facilities for this sort of thing — will be essentially identical to Taito's 1978 machines, with one notable exception: it will cost two quarters to play.
