The street views are the same as normal, except heavily pixellated and reduced to 8-bit color depth.
Here’s some graffiti in Bristol, UK that looks really neat in the 8-bit Street View style.
And here’s a view of an apartment parking lot.

[NES/JRPG geek hat on]FYI for the above, the “strange pink thing” and “Jawa” are Drakee (recolored; no actual one is pink) and Magician sprites from the original Dragon Quest/Warrior. What they mark, I don’t know. This game is also an explanation for why I find ultrafilter’s post above so damn funny.[/hat off]
Is the blue knight in post #6 one of the original monsters? It’s been so long since I played that I just don’t remember.
Yes.
I remember those things being hella difficult, too. Where are the metal slimes?
I don’t think there were metal slimes in the first game.
There were. Personally, I’ve seen a half dozen of them. Only killed one, though. There was much rejoicing that day.
The Pink Puffs from Final Fantasy 2, however… I thought that was a total lie. I spent HOURS looking for those little assholes.
A bump to ask: does anyone know if this is found/cached somewhere? Doesn’t work in Firefox or Chrome following links found in various places. I’m not surprised that they removed the “Quest” link, but you’d think they would keep the page active somewhere.
It’s a shame they only had that for one day. It sounds really neat,
It lasted a while after, too, but it’s down now.
