18 Megapixel Game World Maps

Posted by Zonk on from the droooooool dept.

Via Joystiq, some beautiful maps of old school game worlds as displayed on a wall-mounted series of displays. From the article: "The HEyeWall is a modular large-scale screen consisting of several rear-projection units for creating enormous high-resolution displays. The total resolution shown here is about 6000x3000 pixels (18 Mpixels). Alexander stands next to the display in these photos to give you an idea of the scale."

    ...if you were able to look at one of those Zelda maps without immediately getting the theme song stuck in your head.

    Not that I don't appreciate the subject matter, but it's a little odd that they should pick images with far fewer than 18 megapixels of detail in them to show off an 18 megapixel projector :)
