Science and engineering have given us so many things that mankind once thought were mere fantasy: the gift of flight, fax machines, the toaster. Now, the march of progress continues to this day with this real-life creation of pop-culture transportation.
A mechanical engineering student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology built a miniature go-kart called the "Chibikart." It look crude, but it's actually a very sturdy and zippy electric-powered vehicle. It also looks and moves just like the rides in the various 'Mario Kart' racing games.
'Perfect Strangers' was about more than just mismatched cousins who often found themselves in ridiculous circumstances and occasionally danced the "Dance of Joy." The sitcom, which ran from 1986 to 1993, was about following one's dreams.
In the case of Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot), his dream was to escape his family sheep farm in the Greek-like island of Mypos and start anew in America. Balki is also the star of an addictive new 'Perfect Strangers' video game from designer Jason Oda.
A group of students pulled off what they call "the holy grail of hacks" by turning MIT's Green Building, which is home to the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, into a 21-story version of Tetris. Cool! Can we play next?
On an episode of 'Seinfeld,' George played "real life" Frogger by pushing the arcade classic across a busy New York City street. 'Fifth Avenue Frogger' isn't quite that hardcore, but it definitely draws from the same inspiration as that famous scene.
10-year-old Dylan Viale has a very close relationship with his grandmother Sherry, who is blind. The two walk dogs and go to the movies together, and recently went to a Lego event where they helped build a giant Lego Yoda.
But because of her vision impairment, Dylan wasn't able to share with his grandmother his love of video games. So the fifth-grader at Hidden Valley Elementary in Martinez, CA, did something about that -- he developed a video game which blind and sighted people can play together.
In this clip from the British reality TV show 'World Series of Dating,' two hardcore online gamers bond over their mutual love of 'World of Warcraft.' The results are predictably, well, nerdy.
Video arcades aren't as popular as they once were, what with modern gaming systems bringing high-quality graphics into the home. And a video arcade featuring only games made out of cardboard? Well, that obviously wouldn't stand a chance in today's marketplace.
But a cardboard video arcade is what nine-year-old Caine Monroy built, and it includes an innovative collection of games like soccer, basketball and even a fully-functional claw machine.
Ever wonder what 'Angry Birds' would look like if it was created way back in the '80s? The folks at Squirrel-Monkey.com have reimagined the massively successfully mobile game as an 8-bit creation complete with blocky sprites and cheesy MIDI music. Maybe it's just us, but this makes us miss our old Commodore 64 terribly.
As part of a minigame within Microsoft's new video game 'Kinect Star Wars,' Han Solo has been made into an intergalactic dancing machine.
