Fuck the Gameboy, Go To France

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 5 2005 1:00 PM

Because in France, you can play the coolest game of Tetris ever.

Arcade which is part of Project Blinklights is an interactive light installation, allowing mobile users to play games such as Tetris, Pong or Pacman which are displayed on Buildings, by using their mobile phones

For instance, a player standing in front of Bibliothèque Nationale de France can connect himself with the building by dialing +33 (1) 44 24 73 50

Visit Project Blinkenlights, learn the rules, add the numbers to your phone. You never know when you'll be in France.

I remember the first time they did this, a few years back, just not with the cellphone part. I think Giganto-Pong would be fun to watch.

They failed to mention how much this service costs.

Doesn't matter. Whatever it is I'll pay it.
