A game museum has 3D printed a replica of a historic arcade computer space. The arcade museum in Stroud, Gloucestershire lacks the first commercial arcade video game. They collaborated with Heber company to create a real replica.

 


Neil Thomas, the director of the arcade museum, said that because it is a replica, not an original, they are not "afraid" of letting people play with it.
A spokesperson for the museum stated that although the original version was not commercially successful due to "daunting controls and gameplay," it is now very rare and expensive, with an auction price exceeding £ 55000.

The team made every effort to create the original feeling of the machine, using cookie jars to replicate the sound of money falling when players paid for the game.

Mr. Thomas said, "We compare the idea of a 3D machine to a plaster model of dinosaur bones displayed in a museum. Although it's not the original, it's fascinating and sparks dialogue around the topic."

The true benefit of it as a replica is that we are not afraid to let people play with it.
He said they know the other side of the country and it's behind the rope, so people can't touch it.
"So you can actually experience it here, you may feel frustrated with it, and people do it because it's a very frustrating game," he added.
Richard Horne, the director of Heber, who helped manufacture this machine, said that it was the only machine in the arcade that still used coins, making it "very realistic".

"Once you put the coin in, it will pass through the branches and eventually fall into the cookie jar."
He said that when manufacturing this machine, they used pictures as a reference, printed out these parts, and then placed them together with fillers and painted them, adding a special resin like the original.

This model was completed using outdated CRT displays previously owned by the BBC and Heber's electronic devices to create a complete, full-size replica of this historical machine.

Computer space is available for visitors to museums.
