8-Bit NYC is the coolest map–ever

by neetika on Mar.12, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies

The 8-Bit NYC map is simply fantastic. The service displays New York City in a depiction that’s modeled after maps in adventure video games from the 1980s. Even better, all the content in 8-Bit NYC is accurate, making it a viable mapping tool, as well.

“I hope to evoke the same urge for exploration, abstract sense of scale, and perhaps most importantly unbounded excitement that many of us remember experiencing on the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Commodore 64, or any other number of 8-bit microcomputers,” the map’s developer Brett Camper writes on the site.

Camper built 8-Bit NYC on top of Open Street Map, an editable map of the entire world. You can zoom in on individual streets, look all around the city, and much more. You can even search for a specific address or location.

I’ve seen several interesting maps in my day, but 8-Bit NYC easily takes the cake. If you’re an old-time gamer who enjoyed eight-bit adventure titles, you’ll want to see this map.
