As part of their annual April Fool’s Day celebration, Google Maps has gone 8-bit.
A Quest option has been added to Google Maps website that transforms the map into a pixelated 8-bit world,
taking some gamers on a nostalgic roller coaster ride to their childhood.  You can now view your favorite city
in 8-bit,lots of fun, and the video is just too funny.
