Atari Apocalypse

A super-duper-awesome new video has hit the web with a vengeance, and it’s from French director Patrick Jean and Paris visual effects studio One More Productions.

The short film is called Pixels, and it basically shows many different classic arcade games taking over New York City. You’ll see Asteroids space crafts shooting vehicles below, Tetris blocks interlocking with buildings, Pac-Man eating his way through the subway, Donkey Kong tossing barrels from the top of the Empire State Building, and more.

Dust off your Atari and click on over to the other side to witness Pixels immediately! This is an absolutely can’t-miss video from anyone who’s danced with the godfathers of video game history.


Even cooler — when these video games take something out as they would in their respective games, that object becomes pixelated itself, and breaks down into many little pieces (kinda like those Skittles commercials, but with pixels!).

As cool as this video is, I’m not sure I would enjoy experiencing this chaos. Those Tetris blocks are freakin’ vicious, man.

Congratulations. You have officially scared me.

I liked the arkanoid one. =D

Wait, if that guy at the beginning was the one that turned on the TV that destroyed the world, doesn't that make him a terrorist?

Already saw a thread about this recently. If I can be bothered to look I'll post the link.

This video scared the shit out of me, considering I live in New York City with my dad on weekends. Does anyone know how I can counteract the thought of this in my head?

By the way, one of the subway stations that Pac-Man ate was in my neighborhood!

Not anymore it isn't.

Someone hold me. I'm going to have nightmares.

That was awesome. The Arkanoid part was the coolest in my opinion.
