It’s a case of the old school meets new school with British company [Liberty Games](http://www.libertygames.co.uk/?ref=protein.xyz) modified Cosmic II full-size arcade multi-game cabinet which allows gamers to play via Bitcoin payment. Classic games such as Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Space Invaders to name a few, can now be played without the irritation of pocket fumbling for correct change.   
  
The company used a Raspberry Pi and a PiFace add on to make the payment interface. The system doesn’t interfere with the machine’s software which is good news for admirers of classic arcade booths, and gives them a new lease of life as we approach the impending shift to digital currency.  
  
The current value of a single Bitcoin would allow you, were you so inclined, to spend a whole year blasting space invaders or guzzling Pac-dots, but for those less committed don’t panic. You can pay in fractions.
