Funworld Photo Play 2000
History
Released in 1996, this is the original Photo Play 2000 generation cabinet released by Funworld. The woodgrain cabinet with CRT touchscreen made it fit right in at late 90's cafés, restaurants and bars and beyond. Internally, the machine has silently been upgraded due to the later releases being more demanding hardware-wise.
Software-wise, the very early versions did contain some adult-themed games which were removed in the following versions when funworld decided to adopt their "Positive Games" concept in 1998, becoming the only company that supplied machines with games that were free of violence, pornography and gambling.
This philosophy was very appreciated not only by most players but also by some companies that cooperated with funworld, namely Jim Bean, Pernod, Nokia, AutoBild and also World Wildlife Fund and UNESCO.
