Ok, Ben Heck... Let's see you build this?

Hello again Ben, Karen and Felix,

 

I was watching an episode where you compared one video game to another.  In it you showed us what was inside the video game cartridges.  A small board with the Game programmed onto it.  After watching you build the slot loading Nintendo I had an epiphany.  Wouldn't it be awesome to have a video game juke box.

 

So here is my challenge.  Build a retro 50's style juke box that houses games instead of 45's.  Removing the boards from the cartridges would allow it to be compact and maybe even look like the old compact models that used to be on the booth tables at Diners.  That would look awesome sitting near someone's TV.  Walk up, drop in a dime, select C7, and Super Mario Bros. loads up ready for play.  I am sure you can do it with the CD games, but where's the fun in that?

 

I have confidence in you Ben.  Will you accept the challenge?

 

Have a great day,

 

Ben
