Google maps, and click "Quest Mode" in lower right corner. Epic EGA graphics with 1980's pc game quest style map overlaid.

Vancouver's quest map is totally RPG (zoom out a bit).

It's funny, but if I were an owner of Google stock, I'd sell, because it's clear they don't have anything really worthwhile to do with their money.

Right now people are using the **** out of this gimmick, and saying to themselves "I like Google."

They put out an image that they don't take themselves too seriously, encouraging the users to use them casually.

You can't hate a company that turns an entire map of Earth into an 8 bit RPG.

Nope, but I wouldn't want to own it either.

But in all seriousness, this isn't the major reason for that.
