Game Art: Google's "Google Maps 8-bit for NES" (2012)
Unveiled just before April Fools' Day by Google, Maps 8-bit for NES ("Coming soon for the Game Boy") is a magical cartridge for nostalgic gamers who are still using their beloved Nintendo Entertainment System in 2012. This groundbreaking application for the Nintendo home console features lo-fi aesthetics, an 8-bit-themed soundtrack, and pixelated creatures. The marvelous cartographic tool can be used online by going to http://maps.google.com and clicking "Quest" in the upper right hand corner of the map.

PS Has anybody realized Google's April Fools' Day is not funny considering that Brett Camper's "8-bit cities" has been around for like, ages?
