One of wife's friends is married to a guy who has sit-down donkey kong.
It weighs about 6,000 lbs (I helped him move it once), but besides that,
it is the most desirable piece of furniture I've ever drooled over.

I've planned its heist several times but the owners come to my house every
once and a while so I couldn't enjoy it.

Do you suppose it's possible to get a generic sit-down case and install
one of those rom-chips in order to put together an inexpensive clone?  I
wouldn't care too much about having an _original_.
