Unfortunatelly, looks like th space invaders video is down.
But i saw the pong video, and that's pretty unbelievable.
This is real creativity (and a lot of patience too ;) ). I love the idea :)

That's because they have been widely puclicised and the server probably can't cope ;) (I have seen them mentioned in at least two large distribution newsletters).

Yeah, that's what I figured. Bummer though. When that happens to people they ought to stick the vids up on Google Videos or YouTube or something.
