Roomba Pac-Man

The classic arcade game Pac-man has been seen in all forms of culture, but I think this is a first for the robot vacuum world.  This is a really cool video/experiment where some students at Colorado University mapped out a Pac-man type level with red tape on the floor, and guided some Roomba vacuums around this map with computers to simulate a stage of Pac-man.
This is so cool, and its fun to see a classic like Pac-man applied to some modern science, like aerial guidance system they are working on …

Grand Theft Auto vs Frogger

Here is another one that the classic arcade game loses miserably.  Its still enjoyable though, but at the same time kind of sad haha. I just want there to be a video where the classic game owns a newer one, even things up a little bit.   
GagFilms did another great job on this one and check out the older ones too; Donkey Kong vs Mortal Kombat and Contra vs Duck Hunt

Little baby T2 arcade game

Weeee I don’t think there are many things as cute, yet cool, as this little T2 arcade machine.  I doubt anyone has seen anything like this before, a action figure playing a Terminator shooting game.  Sick detail on the cabinet, GI Joe is getting his game on.

I don’t think it gets much scarier than this right here, the ‘Dig Dug’ horror movie. Haha just kidding its only a spoof trailer, but it is very funny.  Thanks to the people at Gamervision for creating this.  I seriously wouldn’t doubt if something of this sort was made one day, with the way these new release movies are looking.  But anyway, all you ‘Dig Dug’ fans out there, enjoy this little spoof trailer.

This is one sweet air-hockey table, with crazy projected lights and images.  Why do the Japanese always make the cool stuff even cooler.  It looks like its a lot of fun, but I would be way to distracted, but I guess that is the point.

The Japanese are known to have some of the craziest arcade games, that we would never see over here in the States.  This is just one of those games, its a table flipping game, yes a game where you flip a table.  It seems as though you sit in a restaurant and get angry at something, I’m guessing the servers, and pound the table.  When you become angry enough you flip the table in rage, and I guess the harder the flip it, the more points you get.  I have no idea, …

The folks at Cracked.com made a funny list of what it might look like if video games were more realistic. They put together 27 screenshots, and altered them to be more realistic. Some of them are classic Arcade and NES games, such as Pac-man, Donkey Kong, Punch-out, and Dr. Mario, just to name a few. But if you are into all types of games then you will enjoy all of them, because I sure did. Check the Pac-man one pictured below, and go look at the rest of …
