I don’t often make much ado of the press swag that filters its way into the Offworld offices (though I can say that drinking my morning joe out of a Minotaur China Shop mug regularly makes my day [and I’ve yet to smash it in clumsy rage]), but sometimes there comes an object too good to not capture for posterity.

Case in point, the contents of today’s golden padded envelope: a Space Invaders Extreme print signed by original series creator Tomohiro Nishikado, to mark the occasion of next week’s downloadable release, courtesy Taito and console-version developer Backbone.

My wrist-tattoo invaders glowed on opening the package, as if they’d been waiting their entire lives to be reunited.
