I see the Observer have purloined that Mini-Pops spreadsheet game that was doing the rounds earlier in the year and turned into a bit of Flash... Originally conceived by flipflopflying.com. I assume they were asked! The posters up the escalators at Brixton Station look cool though...

Found myself in the city by that "Gherkin" thing, whatever it's really called...

In 1999 Space Invader, a Parisian artist, cemented tile mosaics of the pixelated invaders in a few public places and inspired a whole bunch of imitators who spread the the little critters around the world.

So Invader then launched a global multiplayer offensive through his Web site, space-invaders.com.


The site lets you buy maps of invaded cities as well as do-it-yourself kits. But it'd not cheap! There is also an instruction book planned for 2004 that explains where to plaster the creatures and how not to get caught. The game is far from over.
