World's largest arcade machine certainly is big

Bigger isn't necessarily better, but, generally speaking, bigger is oftentimes more impressive. Just take a look at this arcade cabinet, dubbed the largest in the world. Is it more functional or necessarily more fun than its reasonably-sized cousins? No, not at all. But is it impressive? Yeah, it sure is.
I mean, you need to climb up on stepladders to use it! Stepladders! And it has a huge 70-inch screen. There is absolutely no reason for a screen that big with the graphics on most arcade games, but it has one. Impressive. I mean, not impressive enough to want such a stupid thing to call my own, but, you know, impressive in its ambition. That's gotta count for something. ? Adam Frucci
