There's nothing quite like coming across video game graffiti when you are a serious gamer. A lot of gamers really connect with the characters because they live more than just vicariously through them -- for a moment in time they become that character.
A lot of times you will find these relatable characters or game images on a mural, but on the odd occasion you may just be lucky enough to stumble upon a video game graffiti 3D installation. If it's done right, it will certainly make your stroll in the city a lot more interesting.
The iconic Space Invader alone has become a very popular inspiration for urban art and can be found throughout different places in Europe in the form of graffiti. If you look closely, it appears in a few different places in Paris alone.
