Rekindle just a little of the classic arcade game magic while also having a neat, though potentially irritating, way to be woken up in the morning.

The Space Invaders alarm clock, fully licensed by Taito, is exclusive to Firebox in the UK and features a cacophony of familiar sights and sounds whenever the alarm goes off.

Watch a demo of the alarm on the product page. It’s £24.95 ($41).

Enter the Danger Bomb Clock.

This alarm clock is nothing like I have ever seen before. It seems that the traditional metallic ringing and clanging alarm clock has nothing on this one. You see, this alarm clock is a bomb – in a good way, that is. When you set it to a specific time, instead of emitting an irritating beeping or a nerve wracking ringing, the Danger Bomb Clock will EXPLODE! Well, make an explosive sound, at least. I am pretty sure that that kind of sound will be beyond irritating or nerve wracking – it should simply wake you up, yes?

What is cool is that you cannot turn it off by simple pressing a snooze or off button. It has three “codes,” which is randomly set when you indicate an alarm time. And you have to be able to choose one of these “codes” in order to diffuse the bomb. That means a little bit more of mental work, which may very well be what wakes you up.

All this for only $28 – a good investment if it will wake me up in time to do more work.
