We're sure, or at least fervently hoping, that we're not the only people who have been walking the streets of Seattle at some point and found ourselves thing 'Sure, this is nice, but wouldn't it be cooler if everything here was rendered in 8-bit, Final Fantasy-style Nintendo graphics?' Your Seattlest may be a little bitter that some of our more finely honed skills--defending villages from rampaging hordes of orcs, for example, or retrieving powerful relics from the treasure troves of vicious dragons--are undervalued because these things don't, well, exist.
But courtesy of Brett Camper, Seattleites can finally take a look at what the Emerald City would look like if it was a magical video game fiefdom at 8-Bit Seattle. Using Google Maps and 8 classic video game graphics, Camper has created interactive 8-Bit maps of cities like New York and London, and his hometown of Seattle is the latest to get the treatment.
Our one piece of disappointment? No special marker for the Fremont Troll - that gag is right there, just waiting to be made.
