Game console carved from a tree

Brandon sez, "I'm currently studying in Leiden in the Netherlands and upon exploring just outside the south side of town, I discovered this handsome sculpture of an arcade machine carved out of a tree trunk. The URL carved into it leads to a Dutch art group called Uitschot. For those who are unfamiliar with Dutch (not that I'm fluent), 'boom' (rhymes with 'home') means 'tree.'"'

Beeld 14: Gameboom. (Brandon)

Does it take wooden nickels?

That's more of an arcade cabinet than a game console.

Apparenty this statue is for 'Citykids who are allergic to nature, dragged along by their parents, but who would rather be gaming'

I hear the sound effects are bad; the voice emulator only produces very wooden dialogue.

Does it play Boom?

And "Uitschot" means trash people as in people living in trailers, with mullets and shooting road signs.
