Video Games in Reality

"It's a beautiful day outside, Billy! Why don't you stop playing Pac-Man on your Atari, and go play outside?"

"Okay.... I'll go play Pac-Manhattan."

A bunch of New Yorkers have taken the quarter-century-old video game and transplanted into realspace... Greenwich Village, to be precise. It was created as part of an academic program (the kind that salt-of-the-earth types either snicker or sneer about), but Pac-Manhattan also looks like a lot of fun. (Heck, I'd love to chase this Pac-Man down and eat him. {grin})

Maybe someday people will take the radical experimental step of adapting games such as John Madden Football or FIFA Soccer 2004 or All Star Tennis to be played in realspace. Nah... that'd never catch on.
