Default Did Boston Help Make Space Invaders?
After listening to the Brothers Chaps' commentary on one of my Homestar Runner DVD's, I noticed this gem;

MIKE: Yeah.

MATT: —album covers as a kid. I thought there was some link there.

MIKE: {laughing} I can see that!

MATT: I wanted, like—I thought maybe Boston...made the...games? {Mike laughs} 'Cause there was also the Journey...the Journey Escape game? So...it was like, well, rock, there's—here's a...crossover...

MIKE: {overlapping} It was an obvious connection...between...

MATT: Yeah! Rock 'n' roll and video games...

MIKE: {simultaneously} Early '80s arena rock, and...

MATT: So, uh...y'know, those Space Invaders things...were...maybe they were guitars? {Mike snickers} With cities on them? {Mike continues laughing throughout} Like Boston would like you to have?

MIKE: Did we miss that part?

MATT: Yeah, we missed half this email.

MIKE: Ohh.
So I went ahead and took a look at the boxart for Space Invaders, and the cover art for Boston's debut album, and- WELL WELL WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE

Coincidence or Connection? You decide*!

*Pretty much confirmed to be a coincidence but you can pretend you made a difference

They're both UFOs from space, they both have multiple ships in their images, there's little metropolitan cities inside of the domes, and they're both emitting laser fire cannon death rays of DOOM.
Also they're both awesome

Sorry Vel no one cares about the topic anymore because it was so derailed it is hopeless to even try to salvage anything from the wreckage.

Maybe some people want to buy them for the times that they do not have access to the Internet
Maybe some people should quit derailing the thread
