Okami (8-Bit)

Around the time of Okami’s release, Clover Studio mocked up an 8-Bit world map as well as some 8-bit versions of selected tracks from the Okami soundtrack. There’s a link of an 8-Bit Ammy from the official Okami site that leads to a splash screen (shown above), the other image is from the Okami Art Book which displays the 8-Bit world Map.

Google Maps in 8-bit graphics… for NES. And Dragon Quest inspired!

I though it was all a big and funny fake until I have entered http://maps.google.com/ and there it is: the Quest button!
