  • strictnein, on 10/26/2007, -13/+206As a resident of Minnesota let me ask: how in the world did we move east of Chicago and wtf is that bird thing in St. Paul???
    And for Michigan: where is all that water going?
    • Shad0wSP, on 10/11/2007, -3/+572the main boss definitely resides in chicago
    • xerus, on 10/11/2007, -59/+16Wheres the floating island of doom with waterfalls perpetually flowing down that has the secret boss fight? (And it would probably have some wicked awesome sword that has the highest attack and a 90% chance of getting a critical hit.)
    • Musaffa, on 10/11/2007, -43/+467Jesus, no wonder they drive like *****.
    • wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -13/+39Nah, it's obvious he's smarter than that, the main boss is hiding in that barren area known as Portland.
    • UGM2099, on 10/11/2007, -3/+282Atlanta, Florida is beautiful this time of year.
    • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -6/+157I like how it showed some of Mexico, but completely left Canada out of the picture.

      Also, I guess California really will sink.
    • PhantomBantam, on 10/11/2007, -6/+189No Boston? Sad. I thought there would be a New England level, where you can battle lobsters, quahogs, and 'R's.
    • DrToddMD, on 10/11/2007, -44/+13I call ***** on this....why the hell is Seattle so small? We have the corporate HQ of Nintendo of America, we have Microsoft (which even if they do hate, they cant ignore), one of the biggest names in baseball that is a Japanese National, on top of a huge Japanese population.
    • inhaler, on 10/11/2007, -25/+3Anyone wonder why it says, "The apocolypse" in the picture? Is this in reference to a game or something. I get the strong impression the Japanese are smarter than this with geography.

      Although, I've heard they often ask people what Gaijinkoku (foreignland) is like, and if we drive cars there.
    • telair, on 10/11/2007, -19/+5Mirror, just in case
      http://imagespar.com/view.php?img=4d005784c6e451c83bda1cae1718764c
    • aegis9975, on 10/11/2007, -2/+173Canada doesn't exist :(

      BTW: the map is from the game Far East of Eden: The Fourth Apocalypse (Tengai Makyo), which was released on the Saturn (remade on the PSP); needless to say, its a pretty wacky game, but also very fun.

      http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/tengai/tengai2.htm

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengai_Makyou
    • RooDoG, on 10/11/2007, -4/+31Alcatraz is fairly large on this map, and San Fransisco is now east of it. Thats just fantastic.

      HOLLYWOOD LAND!!
    • speaker219, on 10/11/2007, -17/+6Sorry for the comment abuse.
      Mirror just in case:

    • rasterbator, on 10/11/2007, -3/+43This map seems more like a Disney-World or Universal Studios theme park map. Where are the bathrooms?
    • Jeifurie, on 10/11/2007, -67/+6ALLALA DIGG ME DOWN
    • Ransomowris, on 10/11/2007, -6/+30Does anyone else think it's disturbing that it's called "Apocalypse"

      And wtf is that in atlanta? The eiffel tower?
    • ChromaVita, on 10/11/2007, -28/+118It doesn't even say Atranta. buried as inaccurate.
    • Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -4/+33strictnein, I also live in Minnesota. We should go check out that big ass bird thing in St. Paul some time! I'm bring a few Phoenix Downs just in case. The only problem though, is that my over size sword doesn't fix in my car... do you have a truck we could use?
    • UCFartstudntJON, on 10/11/2007, -67/+5RPG. you mean Really Phucking Gay.
    • Ransomowris, on 10/17/2007, -14/+90jeifurie
      "@phantom

      There is boston on the map you *****. Are you blind or do you have small eyes like them chinky japs?"

      Wow, you've proven yourself as an idiot, racist, and an *****.

      Nice! Just took you 2 sentences!
    • cheese06, on 10/11/2007, -16/+7looks like a WoW map.
    • Eivo, on 10/11/2007, -7/+4This provided much needed late night lawls!
    • thecrazymonk86, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32wheres hawaii?
    • loof, on 10/11/2007, -12/+2where's rhode island?
    • snoguy986, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5@Rhino2

      I've got a truck. I'm sure your sword should fit in the back no problem. We can throw in some shields just for good measure
    • rstarr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+219As a resident of Ice Palace, Alaska I can vouch for this map's authenticity.
    • JeffH, on 10/11/2007, -2/+23I also like the fact that Portland and Seattle are now in Montana.

      Sorry people from Montana, but both Portland and Seattle separated are more interesting than your boring ass state :)
    • donkeyshow, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29*Walk-thru*

      make sure you pick up the ice sword while in ALASKA!
    • mV0G7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+55I think Missingno can be found on the coast of Florida after you talk to the guy in Chicago
    • Dreamfiend, on 10/11/2007, -11/+2@ donkeyshow

      Actually you get the ice sword from the mini boss. If you are really "1337" you go back at Lvl. 89 to get the fire sword in from the Secret Alaskan King Crab boss on Super fantastic Hard mode BUT you can only get that sword if you have all 300 additional characters and completed all side quests in under 2 hours and 13 minutes.
    • drivenfaroff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Chicago is now in the middle North Dakota and Seattle is part of Montana.
    • kcpwnsgman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13I love how Salt Lake City is probably the most correct there, in the middle of desert, surrounded by mountains.
    • polymorphist, on 10/11/2007, -2/+43"Canada doesn't exist :("

      Canada will pop up when you beat the game ;)
    • TheCount, on 10/11/2007, -11/+2"Does anyone else think it's disturbing that it's called "Apocalypse""

      Seems to me like the map is actually supposed to be some representation of what America would be like after an apocalyptic event, like the melting of the ice caps, since a lot of the coast in under water. I don't think it was actually meant as a representation of "how the East sees America."
    • gamegenie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+33As has been sort of pointed out, this is from the Saturn game Tengai Makyo IV:Fourth Apocalypse. It was recently ported to the PSP. The point of the original Tengai Makyo (released originally on PC-Engine CD-ROM, and released last year on XBOX 360 in Japan) was that it was Japan from a wacky foreigner perspective (hence the references to "Zipang" substituting for "Japan"). Tengai 2 carried this on somwhat, but the conceit was lost by Tengai Fuun Kabuki Den and Tengai Namida. Tengai 4th Apocalypse turns this perspective around and plays with the reverse of the original game's central point. That is, Tengai 4th Apocalypse is the US from a wacky Japanese perspective (on purpose "bent"). There are references to the old west, the movie "cool runnings" and the jamaican bobsled team (who were relevant when the Saturn version was made), the movie Soylent Green (but with pig people being processed into pork rather than humans), etc, etc, etc. The heading is crazy-misleading, but if it gets people to check out Tengai Makyo, that's great. It's a fun series, and Tengai X360 is coming to the US, so more people may get the opportunity to finally play it.
    • myt29, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19@mV0G7 "I think Missingno can be found on the coast of Florida after you talk to the guy in Chicago"

      Make sure you put the rare candy in the 6th position.
    • Wamzlee, on 10/11/2007, -1/+63Wow, this map is worse than MapQuest.
    • theMurdocVolta, on 10/11/2007, -11/+2I swear to God this is the Map out of the LOTR book, with a bunch of Japanese crap on it.
    • maiku00, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5hahaha, Minnesota gets TWO of our cities, OWN
    • LocalDocal, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8As someone who grew up playing JRPGs and still love them to death today,

      I can tell you that nothing made me smile wider than this map. If you ever played a classic JRPG (like those on the SNES), then this is basically the kind of world map you'll see. Hell, Alaska looks like the Tower of Babel area from Final Fantasy IV.

      I don't digg many articles, but I want to digg this one.
    • nathron, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1Seattle's boss rides an invisible bicycle.
    • BriSoFli, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Salt Lake is on there but not Washington DC?
    • atezun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15"Canada will pop up when you beat the game ;)"

      To the west of Alcatraz ;)
    • chingy1788, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15The Japanese know more about the world than some Americans
      Remember that Video
      "Name a Country starting with 'U'"
      Answers include:
      - Utah
      - Yugoslavia
      - "Hey, whats a country starting with 'U'?"
      and some others
    • ilikefun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12this is actually the original prototype for google maps. good thing they changed.

      also, i had no idea that the space needle in seattle was made out of cats.
    • CeeJayDK, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1@ chingy1788 :
      Uruguay was the first thing I thought of.

      OK... I'm from a country that starts with a D.
      Name a famous person from my country.

      First to give a correct answer gets to ask the next question.
    • cderry, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Mount Rushmore is now in Illinois and it has one, single goofy face with glasses.
    • krinn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5As others have pointed out, this is from an old Sega Saturn game, Tengai Makyou IV. I picked up a copy of this several years ago in an auction of a bunch of old Saturn stuff. I was rather amused to discover this unusual game.

      Besides the wacky map, there was liberal use of satanic symbols, pentagrams, 666, etc. I didn't play much of the game, but basically it's a fairly linear RPG where you play through different time periods in American history (late 19th century to early 20th century). It has some very cliched representations of the USA and also of native americans. I kept wondering if this is how Japanese people really see America. Definitely do not buy this game if you would be offended by this type of cultural insensitivity.

      Also if you are at all interested in playing this game, I will warn you that it is in Japanese, and AFAIK there is no translation available, nor any english-language guides or faqs.
    • jgrommersch, on 10/11/2007, -4/+0I don't know. When he was here he probably saw one of those chicks with the Incredibly long nose.
    • LonesomeFighter, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2they must of left Hawaii out cuz they already battled there and they want new territory to bomb.
    • AZNundercover, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13"the main boss definitely resides in chicago"

      That's what you think until the floating fortress of Hawaii appears and have to fight all the level bosses again to get to Dr. Wily!
    • nuprin98, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6i think some of us who lived here would draw it the same way
    • alia, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1awesome. texas is the center of the country...as it should be.
    • Lane5slacker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5You're all wrong. The final boss is in the Ice Palace up in Alaska.
    • jspegele, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2At least they got Detroit right.
    • joeyjojo402, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1I got a huge (small) boner when I saw this picture. Bravo.
    • Chewie67, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7See? It's not just American kids that suck at US Geography...
    • FloppyLlamaDigg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2@ceejay

    • mutatron, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5@thecrazymonk86,

      "where's hawaii?"

      They're still a little sore about that one.
    • keyboardduder, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5At endgame before the patch you will be

      level 8 (figures a year)

      Have Tier 3 Armani gear,

      Have an epic ferrari mount.


      The new instances will be:

      The pile of ***** of the US justice system,

      Guantanamo bay,

      Disney world.

      And the last boss will be dick cheny. As he takes a soldier pill and turns into a flying fat death machine with guns for arms and a razor propeller
    • dclowd9901, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I don't know about the rest of the cities, but Phoenix's representation is 100% accurate. Just a couple of mexican flags and some mudhuts here...
    • nighthawk8713, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I love how Missouri is randomly on the map. The rest major cities or tourist spots, and then there's Missouri marked by two small houses.
    • mrchin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1My assumption for the Michigan water is Niagara Falls. One of the more accurate geographic placements of items on this map. Just that Michigan, Indianapolis and Detroit don't belong there. Would be by NY but I'll take Maine as close enought to Niagara.
    • wqwert, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/01/10/60-united-shapes-of-america/

      This is how we see the US...
    • Iconwolf, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2"As a resident of Minnesota let me ask: how in the world did we move east of Chicago"

      Better yet, how did Dallas move east of Chicago.

      'I also like the fact that Portland and Seattle are now in Montana."

      I like the fact Mt. Rushmore looks like it sits where Louisville Ky is. or that Indianapolis looks like it sits where Toronto(?) would be.

      And I'm originally from Chicago and all, but damn, whats' up with the giant pinnacle thing? I know there are people who says Mayor Daley secretly runs the country, but seriously.....
    • michaelkanobie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I live in Las Vegas and we all know that it's sin city, so can someone please explain to me what's with the clown and balloons. Don't tell me it's Circus Circus, because that's hardly representative of Las Vegas.
    • OwdenBowden, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1strictnein - this is a map of how Japan see America. What you fail to take into consideration is that with their eyes 3/4 closed they do not see well at all. This is why Sota is where it is - along with the other areas.
    • mahdaeng, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1And since when did Oaxaca move to the Caribbean coast, which, by the way, somehow seems to have found its way as far north as Carlsbad Caverns. Hmmmm.....
    • Grivako, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I think i prefer this version of the US, now I just need to find my chocobo and start grinding.
    • Wookie92, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1man Cincinnati sucks. even Indianapolis beat it
    • irishpunk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1where the hell do you park the car in harvard yard?
      jeez....
    • CeeJayDK, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@ floppyllamadigg : You are correct !

  • socomoddjob, on 10/26/2007, -154/+13Did a small, retarded Japanses boy make this?
  • obliviousfool, on 10/11/2007, -1/+28Those Carlsbad Caverns pop up all over the place!
    • nikkilai, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7What fun it would be, going into the Carlsbad Caverns and fighting all of those bat monsters that always appear in RPGs with caves.
    • rstarr, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Thats where I got my KotR.

      BTW, maybe that's how they sneak in to the US so easily, there's a tunnel dug by the Japanese after they built the railroads to stick it to whitey.

      It all makes sense now...
      • ScottMaximus1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The Chinese and the Irish built the railroads
  • vann, on 10/11/2007, -2/+47Indiana has moved north of Michigan. They're invading!
    • UGM2099, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27And Manhattan is now floating several hundred miles off the coastline.
    • wounded625, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20And atlanta moved to florida!
    • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -12/+1And Alaska separated from Canada!

      And Bozo the Clown is now considered a president!
    • MyBigRed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17"And atlanta moved to florida!"
      Why not? Most of it's residents had already done so.
    • durzagott, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Psst.. I've got some ocean front property I can sell you in Arizona...

      No, really!

    • ProxyContin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5WOW ... according to this map there actually is ocean front property in Arizona.
    • Emilio8605, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The Arizona beaches are beautiful this time of year.

  • chancesarent, on 10/11/2007, -4/+93There are only two houses in Missouri and nothing else....at least that part's accurate.
    • clipper453, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8What's not accurate is they show Missouri as a city, instead of a state. And I like how Mount Rushmore apparently sits in St. Louis.

      We don't need self-hating Clevelanders in this great city. If you hate it, move.
    • Niffer, on 10/11/2007, -7/+3I feel that this map is highly accurate as it shows nothing valuable in the Ohio area. I guess a giant corn field doesn't make for a good boss battle.

      P.S. everyone from Cleveland secretly hates Cleveland

    • idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3When I was about twelve, I was in a choir assembled by the Boy Scouts to sing Christmas carols at an old folks' home.

      We were in Dallas. Also, the old people didn't seem to notice.

    • Goombellaofgoom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Ah, so that's what happened to it. Canada is where the mer-people and water dungeon are. Now the map makes sense... someone just hasn't unlocked it yet.

  • Pirate45, on 10/11/2007, -16/+3That map is retarded
  • honorablesauce, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1That is messed up
  • trunkster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Why is Seattle Neko land? What does Seattle have to do with cats? I just don't get that part..
    • nakba, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4What is that tori thing sticking out of St. Paul?
    • ynggrsshppr, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4Japanese people love birds and cats. See my avatar? Told you.
  • aemaeth7, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Indiana is north of New York.

    Okay? D:
    • kenelbow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Actually, Indianapolis has just been relocated to Michigan. The rest of Indiana is gone now apparently.
  • cyrusaman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27I no longer live near Seattle, Washington. I now live near Seattle, MONTANA. Oy vey.
    • yanks215, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Apparently all your people are Thundercats.
    • cadams, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Maybe uh... those mountains are the Olympic Rain Forest? And the mountains across the Great Expanse of Yellowstone are the Rockies? Good lord! If that's the case what the hell happened to the SOUND!!!??

      Seattle must have had Flood cast on it as well!! Thank goodness our Cat Priestess harnessed the power of the fish at Pikes Place Market to save us! Alas!! It apparently has wiped out most of the Eastside! Bye bye Bell Square, the High Fiving White Guys and Microsoft. That fiend in Chicago must be stopped from casting Flood! The material component I hear is Petrol.

      All hail the great Cat Priestess she is our savior!
  • markperia, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3The bad guy is in Chicago!
  • Foenetik, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2jeez. I wish I was in el paso,right now I'm swimming in the bay.

    go carlsbad
  • homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Someone ought to get down to Nawlins Town and go into the well, kill that Giant Crayfish in the well that's poisoning all the water.

    What game is this from? I don't mean my silly little RPG reference, I mean what game uses this map? Because I mean, hi there moron heads, they don't REALLY think your country looks like this, it's a fictional construct for the purposes of merriment...
    • logicnazi, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1And the commenters are only joking when they pretend like it is
  • viggenguy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Atlanta... Seattle... Detroit... Missouri...
  • Vanden, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26Damn Alaskans and your ice palaces.
  • BenMitchell, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Yes but before going after the Boss of Chicago - you should visit the Voodoo Priestess in the village of New Orleans for some health potions and a protection spell. :-P
    • homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Have you not been keeping up with in-game events?? Someone cast Flood on Nawlins Town!

      I think you need to talk to more people in the town square so as you're up with the gossip and don't embarrass yourself again, friend!
    • BenMitchell, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Yeah - but them priestesses won't be flooded out - just the peasants.
    • homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1She musta been a pretty crappy priestess if she couldn't a cast something to save all the peasants.

      Oh geez. Oh, that's awful. You've gone and made me accidentally commit some weak-ass satire... must be home time!
    • navster15, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I imagine the final boss to be a Cerberus-like beast with the heads of Al Capone, Michael Jordan and Oprah. It's primary attack would be a moonshine fueled flamethrower.
  • rasterbator, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15This must be an old map of America. A newer map would clearly show the entire southern half of the U.S. as Mexico.
    • BenMitchell, on 10/11/2007, -12/+5I say we offer the illegals Texas, New Mexico and Nevada back in exchange for them staying put.
    • nikkilai, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10If enough Mexicans move to Texas and dominate the state government, they could technically annex out of the US...
    • redxii, on 10/11/2007, -10/+6Don't offer the illegals anything and tell them to go back home and fix their ***** government and stay out.
    • BenMitchell, on 10/11/2007, -10/+2Hell with that - I was trying to fix two problems at once - Get rid of Illegals and Texas!
    • nikkilai, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3A map some 150 years old would show that the southern half of the US belonged to Mexico. So by old map, you must mean somewhere between 1848 - now.
    • s1mph0ny, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0@nikkalai:
      I'm pretty sure the illegals would have to be able to vote to do that.
  • nick415, on 10/11/2007, -1/+48wait a minute....
    this isn't accurate at all!
  • Saccharin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16Pretty damn accurate too. I can't tell you how much time I've spent spelunking in the mountain ranges of New Orleans.
    • operand, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7spelunking on mountains?!? spelunking is generally referred to as cave exploration.
    • Goombellaofgoom, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2@operand

      I think you mean "defined as"...?
  • Hananda, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7So, Pacific Northwest Native Americans took over Indianapolis, and then moved it to Maine, right next to a waterfall that comes from nowhere.
    • cadams, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It must have been to escape the great Flood spell cast on the northwest by the evil boss in Chicago.
  • cheese06, on 10/11/2007, -6/+4looks like a WoW map
  • ackza, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1Ok what the hell is tombstone, why is L.A., the second biggest city not on here? You'd think they'd have a hollywood dungeon?

    This map creator would suck if it weren't for the English title "The Apocalypse" in red at the top right LOL
    • Saccharin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5L.A. is on the map. It's just not where you'd think it'd be, if you were geographically familiar with the US. But trust me, it's there.
  • rhfb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Hey would you look at that! They didn't forget Alaska! Score one for my hometown (Anchorage)
  • nudedos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I can now sleep at night knowing I'm from the ATL.
    • po43292, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I can't.
    • seraph82, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1So So Def records ftw

      edit: oh and our Aquarium ROCKS. Totally deserves to be on the map, imo.
    • rstarr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1So So Def...?

      Is it still 7 years ago?
  • moxillaq, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3Homer : All right, Herb. I'll lend you the 2,000 bucks. But you have to forgive me and treat me like a brother.
    Herb : Nope.
    Homer : All right, then, just give me the drinking bird.
  • XxFinalexX, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2This is America after global warming.
    Thats why everything is so fanked up.
  • eean, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6What's Missouri doing on the map? I'm live in Missouri, I have no illusions. We're not on the "How New York Sees America", let alone Japan's.

    Washington D.C. should be on the map. Whenever there's a report about something the US government does, I bet its mentioned.

    BTW, How New York Sees America would be a pretty funny map too. :)
    • ldhotsoup, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8All you gotta do is erase everything except LA and write "FLYOVER COUNTRY" in big, cornstalk letters.

  • danakin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Well, Michigan was obliterated, but the UP is still intact.
    • Hananda, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Even the Japanese wouldn't try and take our saunas and salted licorice away.
  • wic0929, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1wow I can check two things off my list at once niagra falls and Indianapolis, MI. what a wonderful world we live in!
  • guglido, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4gotta love how people are ragging on the little things. how about the fact that canada doesnt even exist there!??!?!
    • Saccharin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Most of us would consider that a little thing.
  • SpenceMasta, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4anyone else notice the "69" in the star
