Play Tetris ... in your car

Park to Play is a "drive-in gaming" installation that allows any car parked within to become a gaming device. You select games by flashing your lights at the screen, and control gameplay by messing around with stuff on your dashboard. The system broadcasts the games' sound to your car stereo.

What a novel design! Finally, someone has conquered the problem of how to play video games inside a car. The next step will be to create a mobile version of this device, with a tiny car dashboard, or some kind of simplified representation of the controls on a dashboard, that allows you to interact with the system while outside of the car.
