This is the Arkeg. It's an arcade cabinet. With a keg inside. The pinnacle of human endeavour, then? I say...yes.

It's not some crazy mod; the Arkeg is a commercial product built to (presumably) a commercial quality, with temperature-control for the keg, external sound controls, a brushed aluminium finish, slide-out keyboard and even a trackball. A trackball!

It comes with 69 games pre-loaded on the system, and these are properly included, with legal rights and everything. Plus, it's PC-based, so if you want to upload more games, you can.

The 69 games are:
