"A Barrel of Kong" - A Bar Height themed Cocktail Cab [FINISHED]

[ErikStenger]

This is the custom cocktail style Donkey Kong arcade machine (although it plays other games too) built into an old wine barrel by ArcadeControls forum user griffindodd. I bet you I could sit there and play FOR HOURS. Also, I'm drinking whoever's beer that is. Finders keepers and all that. That's why you should always take your drink with you to the bathroom when you're at a bar. Backwash alone won't deter the determined.

IDK if it's comfy with the glass on top of the controls, but looks alright.

That's ingenious!

Ingenious meaning it's been done for 40 years now? :-D

Just look for "cocktail table" arcade games.

My preference has always been for upright arcade games though. Sure, you can have a drink on these, but if you play for a bit longer the screen/controls position is kind of sub-optimal. I guess this is more "for fun" while uprights are more "hardcore."
