New York, just like I pixeled it! Check out this 8-bit map of the city. Well, actually there are several cities including Amsterdam, London, Kyoto, Paris, Singapore, and several others. And it looks like more will added to the list in the future. Given the overabundance of Google Maps, 8-Bit City is a refreshing way to re-visualize a familiar environment.
The 8-Bit Cities project, which started with 8-Bit NYC, is an attempt to make the city feel foreign yet familiar, smashing together two culturally common models of space: the lo-fi overhead world maps of 1980s role-playing and adventure games, and the geographically accurate data that drives today’s web maps and GPS navigation.
