01 / Service history
Every machine keeps a service log. This one has a gap in it.
2004
October
Unit installed. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ships, and somewhere inside the game data a small hot-beverage feature sits switched off.

June
A customer finds the switch. A player-made patch turns the feature back on, and the whole world learns two words: Hot Coffee.
How it got out2005
20 July
Taken out of service. The ESRB re-rates the game Adults Only, major retailers clear their shelves, and a re-issued edition later ships with the feature removed.

02 / Machine rules
One coin. The machine does not make change and has never apologised for it.
Hold it by the sleeve. Mind the strip. It is not a design choice.
The sticker has been on the machine since 2005. It is still correct.
