Video: Polish students take building light shows to the next level

Our friends at Engadget Polska caught this video of a giant lightshow -- a nerdworks, if you will -- put on by a group of students at Wrocław University of Technology. This is not the first time we've seen such a display, nor is it a first for this particular group, who call themselves Projekt P.I.W.O. -- but it is one of the best (and longest). The ten minute show includes much classic geekery -- Pong, Tetris, Dr. Mario, and Michael Jackson. Yes, that's right: Michael Jackson. Check the video after the break.

Nah.. it was Night Driver for the Atari.. Get it right.. It also came as just plain Driver which is what they scrolled b4 it went to that game.. Night Driver F'in sucked.. it was too boring.. Pole Position was a much better game..

Well excuuuuuuse me, Princess. I was just trying to make a joke.

The music that starts around 7:46 I remember from the game Lotus 3 which I had on an Amiga. That was a long time ago. Does anyone know what it's called?

[Eternal Density Posted May 14th 2009 7:47PM]

never mind, i just googled for amiga lotus 3 music. I only had the demo of lotus 3, but I did play lotus 2 a lot and sadly I still remember the level names/passwords just from listening to the music.

[Eternal Density Posted May 14th 2009 7:55PM]

Ironically, that track is titled... "Lotus 3"

[omivaun Posted May 15th 2009 12:01PM]

arkanoid and columns, not pong and dr. mario. Still a really great light show.

[HaZaRd Posted May 14th 2009 10:43PM]

Hahah loved the Duke Nukem logo and music ;-)

Too bad they're gone, but hell... I'd play Duke Nukem on a 10-storey screen any day.
