Polygon: Philadelphia residents and visitors will be able to see a very special instance of Tetris during Philly Tech Week next month: a massive game using two sides of the city's 29-story Cira Centre as screens.
This might go without saying but this is really cool! Using a building to play a gam like Tetris. I think the pong game is more interesting just because you can more clearly see the two opponents competing. But i would kill to play Tetris on the side of a building. or any game that is pretty simple. If they do this again with a different game i vote for Galaga! If that happens i think its time for a road trip. What other arcade games will they use is my question. What is the capacity for something like this. Also for games with iconic sounds would there be a way to hook up speakers or maybe use headphones to hear those sounds. I cant imagine PACMAN without the sound.
I feel as though I've seen this many times before, but possibly it was executed a little better. The single LED on the side of the wall does not give the same effect that I've seen before. Last I saw this, the entire room of the building would illuminate in a color and create a very solid block. I wish that this, being the largest one in the world, would have a better quality "screen".
