WikiAsteroids is now a mini arcade cabinet! 👀🕹️ I put this together during SXSW for our Wikihaus (www.wiki.haus). It's been great watching people rolling through and trying it out.

A custom-built mini arcade machine featuring the game 'WikiAsteroids'. The arcade has a retro-inspired design with a joystick and six colorful buttons. The screen displays the WikiAsteroids game, which resembles the classic Asteroids game but with Wikipedia elements. A pixelated 3D sign reading 'WikiAsteroids' is attached to the top of the arcade cabinet.

A smiling man in a backward white cap and glasses gives a thumbs-up next to the 'WikiAsteroids' mini arcade machine. The screen displays a 'Game Over' message with a score of 332.
