Trimoor:
It's easy enough to hack. Many people here have done it.
As long as you don't charge people to play it, it should be legal in a public location.
Flinkly:
if you use a tv, and like he already said, dont charge anyone to play it, it's all legal. you could make it seem a little more authentic by making a control panel with real buttons and wiring them up to the input from the original joystick controller to make it look as authetic as possible. but it might take some work, and maybe even two of those, since you might mess up. good luck, and ask any more questions if you have em.

Trimoor:
Watch out for the little kids who won't leave until you get sick of them and pull the plug.
A free arcade game sure gets a lot of attention.
