The well-walked paths of our childhood leave a lasting impression on us. This seems true of the virtual spaces we moved through too: A new tumblr blog, [Mapstalgia](http://mapstalgia.tumblr.com/?ref=killscreen.com), showcases videogame maps drawn from memory. They range in detail from crude to mathematically exacting, but all show a tenderness for the space, like a lovingly painted landscape of their favourite playground.

My personal favourite has to be the map of Zork (pictured), a classic text game. Have a virtual space you wasted countless hours away at? They take submissions.
