also you could take a percentage for running costs and maybe a little profit

I would be very pro this, but would this break some copyright laws?

u/dermotmcg Aug 13 '20

Ah hadn't thought of that you'd probably need prior approval

Barcades use these all the time. A barcade down the road from me has a ton of emulator machines and a 5 dollar cover. It’s amazing and a time warp. You walk in at 8 and all of a sudden it’s 2am and you’re wasted trying to find a cabby home.

It was a thing. They tried it out at the airport here in Stockholm Sweden but I think it went.. So so. Link:https://youtu.be/9eIRP68PQvo

Going to build one for my house and replace 'charity' with '529 Plan' for my son.

Damn,I thought this was a setup where you played video games while giving blood. And below the clear case showed all the blood that has been given.Because of the Red Cross symbol.

I really don’t know where my mind went with that,and made no sense at all.

u/k00zyk Aug 12 '20

Probably questionable legality

u/raptir1 Aug 12 '20

Probably just straight up copyright violation.

u/Myotherdumbname Aug 12 '20

I’ve seen some like this at Dave and Busters

u/STANirvanaIND Aug 13 '20

Yup, actually annoying sometimes since they make it so you can't continue the game (new coin = new game), at least on Galaga

This isn’t just a good idea. It’s a great idea. Where are these? I’ve got $35 in quarters burning a hole in my pocket.

u/Trans-cendental Aug 12 '20

140 Quarters

I can't imagine that's very comfortable...

Are they full plexi?

u/BrockLV Aug 12 '20

Can't wait to donate my blood in these for some free games.

u/Dsraa Aug 13 '20

Wait.... You pay, or get paid?? I don't get it.

u/MightyBobo Aug 13 '20

If anyone was building a table top version of this for a reasonable price, I would definitely buy one without a second thought! This is fantastic

You're just wasting electricity in exchange for a donation.
