A Mini-Arcade powered by Raspberry Pi

I couldn't resist sharing this amazing mini-arcade project powered by a Raspberry Pi computer. In our portuguese mailing list there's been a lot of activity regarding the "making-of" of a full sized arcade machine powered by the small low-cost Raspberry Pi. But, let's face it... not everyone is willing - or has the space - to have a full sized arcade cabinet in their homes.

But with this tiny arcade... that's no longer an issue!

As you might imagine, most of the requirements are very similar the same: you have joystick and button inputs, you have a display (in this case, a tiny 2.4" LCD), and even get an OLED marquee on top for added effect. And unlike a real size arcade cabinet... you get to easily take it with you whenever you go visit a retro-gaming loving friend. :)

Michael Jackson's Arcade Lair

It's no secret most of us would like to be able to have a room to keep their "stuff". A select few can have something even better, something most people can only dream of.

Be amazed by Michael Jackson's arcade lair, with lots of memorabilia from movies, arcade machine, flippers, and lots other.

Anal Probing in Public [Japan]

If you think things couldn't get any kinkier, think again.

Welcome to Japan, the land of the rising sun, and upskirting innocent looking teenage school girls.

While in the U.S. Jack Thompson complains about any graphic violence in video games (while not worrying about much worse Hollywood movies), in Japan things are quite different.

Just check this Arcade machine:

The object of Boong-Ga Boong-Ga is to score points by spanking or performing kancho (anal probing) on a model of a human posterior embedded in the game’s cabinet. A plastic finger is attached to the machine for players to perform the latter.

The game features eight characters players can “punish”: “ex-girlfriend”, “ex-boyfriend”, “gangster”, “mother-in-law”, “Gold-digger”, “Prostitute”, “child molester” and “Con-artist”. During gameplay, the facial expression of the chosen character is displayed on a monitor.

The game also dispenses cards that rates players on their “sexual behavior”, and for players who perform exceptionaly well the machine will dispence a small plastic trophy in the shape of pile of feces.

Think this would be huge sucess all around the world, don't you think?
