Arcade: A Blinkenlights InstallationEarlier this week Kotaku blogged on 1Up’s Platform Agnostics: The Most Whored Out Games In History. The reason that I mention the Kotaku post is because, for an image, their post used the Arcade: A Blinkenlight’s Installation version of Tetris.

Seeing this image got my mind back to Arcade making a perfect candidate to be re-entered into the Avant Game List.

The installation featured versions of 4 8-bit all-stars; Tetris, Pong, Breakout, and Pac-Man. Via a customized ISDN control system, individuals could dial in to Arcade with their cellphones and play these modest games on a truly grand scale.

Arcade: A Blinkenlight’s Installation has been added to the Avant Game List.

Btw. Tetris is the most whored out game of all time appearing on 39 separate platforms.
