I very nearly bought one of the table top variants (some years ago now) that was being cleared out of a pub. It was complete with all payment mechanisms in place (10p a go I think) and in working order. I thought it would make a great coffee table and conversation piece, but my 'home advisor' said there was no way I was going to have that in the house!

Tp there are a few ones for the XBox. Not sure whether space invaders included after looking at it again:
