"World's Largest Playable Donkey Kong Machine Being Built by NY Museum"

The Strong National Museum of Play has announced plans to build a 20-foot-tall playable Donkey Kong arcade cabinet, which will be unveiled on June 30. The museum worked with Nintendo to ensure the upscaled version played as close to the original as possible. The engineers are using an actual motherboard from the original Donkey Kong, which they’re adapting to a Home Arcade System Supergun JAMMA interface. The massive cabinet is part of the museum’s expanded ESL Digital Worlds gallery exhibit, meant to express the broader history of play in pop culture.
