Four representations of video-games made entirely in paper folding are fixed onto a twelve meters long wall : Pac-man (1980), Q*bert (1982), Age of wonders (2000) and Trism (2008). It is a kind of chronology of the video-game and its iconography.
These are "tile based video-games" that use tiles as part of the graphic output. Tiles has been used in the history of video-game to display sceneries because it is very economical both in terms of memory and processor (although it was already existing in several traditional board games).
In other words, the rules of the game are changing but not the rules of representation.
