Human video games

Guillaume Reymond is a Swiss video artist who has created four short films in which he recreates popular video games with humans replacing pixels.

My favourite is his version of Tetris, but he's also taken on Pole Position, Space Invaders, and Pong.

It's brilliant stuff, but it's not the only time that human beings have been used to play a live-action version of Tetris.

There is a Japanese game show that has contestants try to fit their bodies through holes in a moving wall. It's kind of a reverse Tetris mechanic, but it makes for some truly hilarious comedy. There are few clips up at YouTube for you to check out. Here's one of them for your viewing pleasure.



If anyone knows the name of this game show, do share it with us in the comments.

So much for Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario and Luigi, eh?

Anyone have other thoughts on human recreations of video games? Let us know in the comments.
