Pixel perfect: Old video games re-created in real life
German photographer Patrick Runte has come up with some fairly funny recreations of old 4-bit video games as they would have looked in real life.
Runte's take on real-world Pac-Man. The photographer designed and made the costumes for the series.

Modern games already look like awesome high-definition movies, but what about their heavily pixelated predecessors?
German photographer Patrick Runte has taken on the idea and has come up with some fairly funny recreations of old 4-bit video games as they would have looked in real life. The games adapted include Tetris, Pac-Man, and of course Pong. He even goes off the grid just a tad to bring us a pinball recreation. Rad.
Runte's a good photographer and there are many more (not so geeky) images on his site. In the meantime, check out a couple more of his game shots after the jump.
