What is quite possibly the most hilarious arcade game I have ever seen, the Forza Motorsport Arcade Game encourages hilarious but not such great habits in the comfort of your living room.

The game, dubbed "the ultimate in [home arcade gaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skeeball-arcade-games)," comes equipped with a [leather steering wheel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamesir-swift-drive), gear stick, [racing bucket seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essenza-scv12-sim-racing-steering-wheel), metal pedals and arguably the most important aspect of the game, a beer tap with a glass holder on the dashboard.

The Forza Motorsport Arcade Game doesn't come with a monitor but a projector for extra help seeing while drunk, which officially makes drinking and driving safe as it happens in your own living room. Don't worry about refueling either--the game comes with two 5-gallon kegs behind the driver's seat. Amazing.
