World's largest arcade machine certainly is big

worldslargestarcade.jpg

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.

For those of you interested, that's Kevin and Olivia from G4's Attack of the Show playing Rampage. They had it built for the show specifically to break the world's record. It's 14 feet high, and had to be put in the lobby of their building as it was too tall for the studio.

World's largest arcade!!!

Why?

I guess because they wanted to see if it could be done.

It is impressive indeed but it will not fit in the average person's house. :)
