Last night , 100 of people crowded around the 29 - story Cira Centre building in downtown Philadelphia to execute every classic Game Boy lovers ’ dream — playing Tetris on 100,000 - square - foot screenfor all the world to see .
The “ screen ” itself was made up of the construction south and Second Earl of Guilford face and contained hundreds of light-emitting diode lighting that , when not occupied with classic colonnade games , offer a pleasant slight nighttime faint show . Last nighttime , though , the building both helped kick off Philadelphia ’s city - extensive technical school Week as well as celebrate Tetris ’ coming thirtieth birthday .
What ’s more — this colossal display may very well have just place a new world platter . The architectural Tetris designer , Drexel University Associate Professor of Digital Media Frank Lee , already plant a existence record for the largest game of Pong on the very same building just last twelvemonth . And whilethis is n’t the first timeTetris has been projected onto a skyscraper , there ’s a good chance Guinness will formally adjudge it the with child .
And even if it ’s not , it still beats the hell out of playing on a Game Boy . [ Philly.com ]
