A Pac-Man dinner table

Pac-Man strikes again! Have you always wanted your Pac-Man cocktail table to be a little more... practical? Been meaning to get a new dinner table? By replacing the standard glass top with "a custom-shaped, 1/2" thick, polished edge table top glass" Grand Idea Studios have created a domestic geek's dream table. They even had the foresight to include Clay Cowgill's MultiPac kit for 24 different variations of pellet-gobbling goodness. Unfortunately, this particular table is not for sale but should be easy enough to emulate (pun intended). Throw in a Pac-Man rug and you have yourself a pretty hapnin' bachelor pad.

Cool and all, but not sure I'd go so far as to call that a "dinner table", especially with the dorm room decor surrounding it in that photo (including cheap desk chair - always the best option for any dining room!).
There's a reason these things were called "cocktail" games to begin with and I'd still call that a cocktail table, just a little bigger one. It still looks to me more like a table you'd set a drink on than anything else.

I don't know about you Jeff, but that's a lot larger than my dinner tabl... err, coffee table that I eat my dinner on. I've imagined a larger table top that had a glass cutout in the middle for the unit. I hate glass tables, such an unforgiving surface.

Interesting, but it's missing the smoked plexi that helps cover the burn marks in the tube from the mazes.
The smoked sheet makes it look much classier..

those happen to be most excellent burn-in marks on the screen.

Hmmm, not sure that my wife would be really happy to see my brand new retro table in the house... :)
