World's Largest Functional Tetris Game

This giant Tetris game was created using "eleven custom-built circuit boards, a twelve-story data network, a personal computer running Linux, a radio-frequency video game controller, and over 10,000 Christmas lights". It took over five months of planning and can be seen off Interstate 95 in Rhode Island. Video clip after the jump. [via FreshCreation]

Tsss. They don't even have the world record. http://www.etv.tudelft.nl/vereeniging/archief/lustrum/90/english.html This is from 10 years ago and uses 15 floors (instead of 10).

Sweet Jesus. Now all they need is to add a few speakers to each floor and they're set.

So...this was done six years ago and is no longer functional. It's also the second largest, apparently, since some Dutch people built larger.

That is too cool! We had something remotely similar to that in san antonio. One of out hotels had the lights turned on so it said "Go Spurs" during the basketball championship.
