Ontario Student Builds World’s Smallest Arcade Machine
Victoria Korhonen’s fully functional Pong arcade machine may secure a Guinness World Record after official review.
- Victoria Korhonen, an electromechanical engineering student from Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, has created a miniature arcade machine measuring just 64mm tall, 26mm wide, and 30mm deep.
- The machine plays a fully functional version of Atari’s classic Pong game, with all coding, design, and assembly completed from scratch by Korhonen over six months.
- Her arcade machine is smaller than the current Guinness World Record holder, which measures 67mm tall, 30mm wide, and 34mm deep.
- The Guinness certification process, which includes verifying measurements and submitted reports, is expected to take approximately three months.
- This is Korhonen’s second world record attempt; she previously contributed to a high school project that broke the record for the longest selfie stick.
