Still, taggers with a penchant for retro games around the world followed suit, and today Space Invaders mosaics can be found in unexpected places throughout the planet. But while it was cool and daring at the time, today, Space Invaders mosaics are about as shocking as a man with an earring; it's just not that big a deal anymore.
