It shows the world that you are an amazing old school gamer and you aren’t afraid to wear some bling that proves it. This sterling silver ring is called “Invader Aiko” and what I love most is that it really does have an 8-bit pixelated quality to it, while still conforming to your finger.

If you love Space Invaders (Who doesn’t?)and need a geeky wedding band, this is the way to go. It will cost you €198 (~$260 USD) over at Tjep. I have never seen a cooler Space Invaders ring, myself.

Classic 8-bit Space Invaders as re-imagined by designer Logan Walters. Brilliant. Nuff said.

He’s the original mascot of our humble little website, inspired by the classic arcade game Berserk. So I was oh so thrilled when I heard a world-renown urban artist has immortalized the same robo-dude using a bunch of Rubik’s Cubes.

Now you can join in the fun and make your own Space Invader tile with the Space Invader Invasion Kit. The (quite pricey) $100 kit comes with an instruction sheet and a set of pre-cut invader tiles. Just add cement and you can be part of the invasion.
