Patrick Runte is a German photographer, and he’s decided to bring the 8 Bit world into ours. There is both something fun and surreal about his photos.

Patrick Runte’s photographs don’t just imagine what old video games might look like in the real world — with 8 Bit characters translated into three dimensions. They also imagine how those games might be played in our world — and they look like a good deal of fun.

Hedge maze Pac-Man would be a blast, and not being able to see the placement of all the dots and ghosts adds a layer of difficulty to the game. How would you go about doing real-world Tetris, though? Would you have a wind machine or conveyer belt that pushed players down in one direction?

What other 8 Bit games would you want to see in the real world?
