I don't know if this is an early April Fools prank or Google is just being their naturally weird selves, but whatever the case, they've developed an 8-bit representation of Google Maps. It actually looks a lot like the terrain from some NES games, which I imagine is the entire point.
Here's the video describing it and the 8-bit map itself.
