Real life video games

Spotted these excellent photos by Hamburg photographer Partrick Runte of video games brought to life and figured it was as good an excuse as any to update this old thing again.

This shot especially speaks to me, as it reminds me of Pac-Manhattan, “a large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980’s video game sensation Pac-Man.”

Also, the figures in the Tetris photo (specifically the square and the L shape in the foreground) look like an 8-bit version of Romeo and Juliet, discovering that they fit together despite their differences, while their various-shaped family and friends look on.
