Jason Camberis from Chicago, USA spent almost two years building this hugely impressive arcade machine that measures a striking 4.41 m tall, 1.06 m deep, and has a 2 m long screen (80 in).
 
To put that into perspective, the Largest arcade machine in the world stands taller than a fully grown African elephant and could fit the equivalent of 112 bath tubs of water.

The 44-year-old inventor wanted to remind people of the classic arcade machines and videogames – his creation has a vast range of games including over 250 of the classics as well as enduring gamer favourite: Pacman.
