[URL=http://vector.io/]Brett Camper[/URL] makes city maps inspired by the 8-bit graphics of videogames from days past.
Why undertake a project like[URL=http://8bitcity.com/] 8-bit City[/URL]? Camper said that he hopes to bring the “same urge for exploration, abstract sense of scale, and perhaps most importantly, unbounded excitement that many of us remember experiencing on the NES, the Commodore 64, or any other number of 8-bit microcomputers."
Camper, who started with mapping New York, has now churned out 8-bit versions of Amsterdam, Austin, Berlin, Detroit, London, Paris, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C.
If you look real close at the New York map, you can totes see little pixilated hipsters riding around Williamsburg on fixed-gear bikes.
