New York City has been attacked by all manner of monsters and alien invaders, but never before have its assailants been so, well, low-res.<\/p>

A magnificent new video from Patrick Jean and One More Production<\/a> shows an assault on the city that begins when a stream of pixels explode out of TV screen. Soon, the unwary streets of Manhattan are under attack from pixellated Space Invaders. Pac-Man runs amok in the subway stations, Tetris blocks slam down on skyscrapers, and Donkey Kong stands atop the Empire State Building.<\/p>

For anyone whose childhood dreams were invaded by these crude villains, the video is pure nostalgic delight. Watch and enjoy.<\/p>
