If you grew up back in the 80's then you probably remember arcades and popular games from that time. Today we have a special treat for you, especially if you're a fan of arcades and in particular Space Invaders.

The main problem with arcades is that they are too bulky, so if you're looking for a more compact solution, we have a special DIY project that brings you the Space Invaders arcade in miniature size. Of course, this miniature arcade is fully functional and it comes with small buttons and a tiny arcade stick. This arcade measures 7? x 3.5? x 4.5? and the great thing about it is that it can run other games besides Space Invaders. The core of this mini arcade is comprised of Game Boy Advance SP parts, so you can simply put any GBA SP cartage in it and enjoy in your favorite games.

This mini Space Invaders arcade is impressive, and the only flaw we can point out of this DIY is its small screen size, but that's the point isn't it?
