The dudes over at the Video Game Atlas have compiled the backgrounds, level maps and game worlds of hundreds of different games. While looking at a video game's entire world laid out before you may well make you realise just how lazy some of these level designers were, there are some that are simply staggering in their beautiful awesomeness. Pixel art has been so done, sure, but this is the real deal so you shall not criticise.
Awesome. You know there's still a competition in USA(?) for programming [computer game] images the old way - literally, bit by bit. And you score extra points for having the smallest file size!
