WOW.

[Scrow]

that would have to be one of the coolest things ever (by geek standards).

 

[Guns N' Poops]

HAHA, wtf

 

[Matlock]

Man, their power bill must be off the charts!

 

[Ranger X]

This is simply one of the coolest game related thing ever to happen!
I want to try that!!

 

[Blimblim]

They had this setup for quite some time on one of the building of our big Library here in Paris. Seeing a 20 floors high tetris being played from across the city was kind of cool.
You could call a phone number and play yourself

 

[duckroll]

Makes me wanna visit France. Those high-resolution digicam shots of it from a distance are fucking awesome.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Ok, I have to move to Paris. :lol

 

[AlphaSnake]

I'm predicting $299 at launch. But the software lineup may be a little scarce. I think Sony can manufacture 500k to meet demand. =D

 

[Mejilan]

That's even better than the real life Pac-Man experiment. :lol

 

[COCKLES]

The French just went up in my estimations.

 

[belgurdo]

Just another step in proving that France>>>>>America

 

[superegular]

Just another step in proving that France>>>>>America

are you insane?

 

[Shompola]

That's amazing.

This just totally took all the fun out of playing arcade games on a goddamn skyscraper. Thanks.

Maybe we can rig up the new Freedom Tower to do it? Disrespect GET.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I dig.

 

[Hitman]

WTF? No videos?

What? Because it's in France, it can't be fun? :lol

 

[AndoCalrissian]

I saw pictures of this being done elsewhere a few years back. Still pretty rad.

That made me laugh.

 

[ButtonMasher]

That's a trip!

Wouldn't be awesome to own a I-MAX Theater and play some games with some buddies on it.

2D Fighters or a trippy ass game like Rez.

 

[TekunoRobby]

That's so badass, I wonder how the refresh rate is though.

"Pong can be played by up to two players. The first caller plays against the computer. The second caller automatically takes over the computer's paddle so that both callers play against each other."

Now that's awesome.

Yes that was exactly what I was thinking of but I didn't want to say that I've seen this before without any sources.

Here is a link to a movie of Tetris being played:

Actually the inventors of this project and also the first installations were in Berlin, Germany...
