For $78 dollars, one would hope that this cute little Space Invaders alarm clock — endorsed by Taito itself — is something you can actually play the titular game upon. Otherwise, what’s the point? But unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though the Space Invaders alarm clock allows you to play Space Invaders at all! What a disappointment: I envisioned groggy 5am mornings defending Terra from descending pixel squids to turn off the alarm’s cochlea-shredding bleeping.

My CD alarm clock taught me that being woken up by a song I like quickly conditions me to hate said song. I bet this clock will have a similar effect, turning Space Invaders lovers into Space Invaders haters.
