The existing tiles were replaced with new ones to form a giant mosaic of game characters and landscapes. The tiles perfectly simulate an 8-bit graphic design, so\u00a0it looks like you&#8217;re acttualy\u00a0in the land of Super Mario, surrounded by pipes, or run into Pacman trying to escape from Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde.<\/p>\n<p>Making the subway look like every geek gamers paradise was indeed an original way to revitalize what had previously been just another dreary looking building.
