8-Bit Drinking Tables

The Legend of Zelda Beer Pong Table is Perfect for Retro Frat Boys

— January 19, 2012 — Lifestyle
Words can't rightfully express how awesome the Legend of Zelda beer pong table is. This custom-designed beer pong table was created by the River Falls Pong Table Company and is a recreation of the over-world map from The Legend of Zelda for the NES.

The Legend of Zelda beer pong table measures 8x3 feet and is filled with 128 8-bit screens. The screens will be instantly recognizable by those who spent hours combing through Link's first adventure. The table is covered in a water-based lacquer, a finish that gives it that shiny look. Beer pong has quietly become one of the most, if not the most, mainstream drinking game around. This custom table is proof that when it comes to beer pong, sometimes a simple folding table just won't cut it.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Gaming Tables - Creating custom-designed tables inspired by classic video games offers a unique and exciting experience for gamers and partygoers alike.
2. Nostalgia-based Party Games - Designing nostalgic party games, such as Legend of Zelda beer pong, appeals to young adults who grew up playing video games and are looking for new ways to combine gaming with socializing.
3. Incorporating Technology Into Social Gatherings - Integrating 8-bit screens and water-based lacquer into drinking tables provide an opportunity to create immersive technology experiences for partygoers.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - The furniture industry can explore incorporating technology and video game design elements into their products to attract a new generation of consumers interested in novel and retro experiences.
2. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can capitalize on nostalgia by creating more party games and events that feature retro themes and designs to cater to the growing interest in nostalgia culture among young adults.
3. Alcohol and Beverage - The alcohol and beverage industry could create and market their products to be more appealing to the younger demographic by partnering with retro themes and design elements.
