p.s. Wasn't there something similar on an episode of Attack of the Show? I have an image in my head of Olivia Munn up on a ladder playing an arcade game. Or maybe that's just me daydreaming again.

I'd say tallest instead of largest. When I see large as description, I am going with amount of floor area the cab takes up space, so I would go with some of those linking cab games.
If "Andre the Giant" were still around, I can picture those tokens easily fitting into his pants pockets just like a US dime coin currency.

I'm not sure I understand what was so difficult about building it. It's a big, mostly empty box. The monitor is a bog standard HDTV. With all that space, I'd imagine you could just stuff a whole PC inside, case and all. I guess oversized controls could be tricky to find, although I'd imagine you could find some kind of industrial controls that would work.
Aside from actually moving it around, it seems like the size would make it easier to build, not harder.

Doesn't count. 
Plus too close to the screen. Make people go blind.

Yeah, all you need is a ladder and it's easy working at that scale.

>No, you weren't daydreaming. Here are some pics of that episode:

After seeing that page and the photos, it looks familiar. I believe someone had posted a link to it on some previous long gone thread on Loonybin forum. I am guessing maybe twisty or someone else posted the link. This was probably back between 2009 to 2011 years.
