A clever new promotion in Japan gives away free trials of mobile phone games when you buy SD cards.
Taito certainly loves showing off its prized Space Invaders IP, especially in this 30th anniversary year of the classic game, and its latest promotional efforts sees the company partnering up with memory card maker Hagiwara.
Purchase one of their 1 GB or 2 GB Micro SD cards, and you receive a link that gives you access through your mobile phone to Invader Chain, a Space Invaders spin-off in which your goal is to capture fish-like Invaders.
The catch? You only get to play the game three times.
