Title: Wanna play Tetris like you never did before?
Post by: ckong on November 26, 2012, 06:31:08 PM

Then you should go to the Technical University of Eindhoven this week, where the student´s society Thor is celabrating their jubilee with an attempt to break the world record of the largest Tetris game. They built a game of 1000 m2 large, against a building. It just opened this evening at 6 PM and this week everybody can play it. Appearantly it is conrolled by a normal Tetris arcade cab, which is placed on a parking lot in front of the building.

Unfortunately I can´t find some (live) footage, or an English information page, but here is a Dutch article http://www.cursor.tue.nl/nieuwsartikel/artikel/thor-speelt-mega-tetris-tegen-gevel-potentiaal/

And here is the google translation: http://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=nl&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cursor.tue.nl%2Fnieuwsartikel%2Fartikel%2Fthor-speelt-mega-tetris-tegen-gevel-potentiaal%2F

If someone can find some images, please post it here.

I think you should play Crazy Climber or Rampage on building facades, not Tetris  ;D
I'll go and have a look. Every evening?
