MANHATTAN — What if Manhattan suddenly came under attack from bomb-dropping Space Invaders and a barrel-throwing Donkey Kong?

A new viral video shows what would happen if classic 8-bit video game villains descended on the city, smashing buildings and turning taxi cabs into pixilated, Atari-style creations.

The short video, which also references retro hits like Pac-Man, Frogger, Pong and Tetris, comes care of director Patrick Jean of the Paris-based visual effects company One More Production.
