March 3 (UPI) -- A 24-year-old electronics enthusiast in India has constructed the world's smallest arcade machine -- a .98-inches-tall device that runs Space Invaders.
Kiran Patil said he has been fascinated by electronics since he was a child, and over the years his interest has led him to experiment with multiple microelectronics projects.
"I have built many electronic projects before involving microcontrollers and displays, but this is the first gaming arcade project that I have attempted," Patil told Guinness World Records.
Patil's arcade machine measures .98 inches tall, .6 inches long and .59 inches wide. It features four buttons and can run an emulated version of classic arcade game Space Invaders.
He said the idea first came to him during the COVID-19 pandemic.
