Back in 2012, as part of its annual cavalcade of April Fools' jokes, Google created a version of Google Maps that resembled an 8-bit video game. The 8-bit version of Google Maps is long gone, but you can still visit a blocky, retro-themed version of several major cities by visiting the aptly named 8-Bit Cities.

8-Bit Cities offers maps of 18 major cities from around the world, as reimagined in the style of a 1980s video game. With it, you can wander the virtual streets of cities like San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Amsterdam, Kyoto, and Singapore, to name a few.
