San Francisco is the latest in Camper's Nintendo-inspired maps. Non-Bay area residents can also enjoy Camper's models of New York, Washington D.C., London, Kyoto, Seattle, and others.
"The 8-Bit Cities project, which started with 8-Bit NYC, is an attempt to to make the city feel foreign yet familiar, smashing together two culturally common models of space: the lo-fi overhead world maps of 1980s role playing and adventure games, and the geographically accurate data that drives today's web maps and GPS navigation," Camper writes on his website.
It's nostalgic, it's imaginative, and strangest of all: it's accurate.
WTF.
