      Wow a kiosk for $600 that’s a killer steal. Also with plastic you may wanna see about having someone buff the scratches out rather then replacing. I’ve got a Wii U kiosk and a amiibo touch display I may be downsizing if interested

      I've mentioned just yesterday on somebody else's (Froggy Flips) TH-cam channel, that I still got a Philips VideoPac (with a lot of cartridges, but the console itself probably doens't work anymore). Only had three game consoles in my life, that VideoPac, the first Playstation, and an Atari Jaquar, which I also still have in a box. Btw my grandparents, had a television in the 1970s, which had the classic game Pong installed in its tv, and it was also included with a Winchester shotgun, so you could shoot at a white block that came across a black screen.

      For me those kiosks worked but the controller would be partially broken like the thumb sticks would be chewed up or the buttons would stick. The only ones you could count on were at game stores, toy stores or Best Buy. I remember I played Halo in a Gamestop like a month before it came out. I had pretty much no interest in Xbox or even Halo, never was big on shooting games, but riding around in a warthog was so fun so I knew that I had to get an Xbox just to play it.

Always greasy... Always had bits of french fry stuck in-between the buttons.

    When Josh said "it's just a GameCube in there." I thought he meant that it had the internals of a GameCube mounted inside of the kiosk, so it was kinda funny when the camera moves behind the kiosk and there's just an off-the-shelf GameCube inside.
    Edit: Josh sounds exactly like Hank Hill in the best way possible.

    The kiosk i remember the most was back in 1996 at a blockbuster. It was summer and the n64 was right around the corner. I walked in to the store and at the time i had read every single piece of information about the nintendo 64. I was dying to see it or play it. I walked in to this blockbuster and there it was. Not the system itself, but just the controller. I was awestruck. it was like something out of a dream. I picked it up and held it and couldnt believe how much you could do with it. Before that system all i had was a super nes and a sega genesis. I got the nintendo 64 the day it was released. Thursday, September 26, 1996. I played through super mario 64 and beat it within 12 hours. No internet, no strategy guide, no help from anyone. One of the best gaming experiences of my life

I remember Kid Chameleon, Vector Man, Sonic Spinball and Aladdin being playable, but it had a time limit on it and it would reset after a few minutes.

I was super excited and got to the store really early and they had kiosks there with Project Gotham 2 and Kameo to play and I just played them both for like two hours, I couldn’t believe I was gonna get one of these on launch day - great memory.

    My favorite Kiosk memory isn’t from the kiosk itself, but from an ADVERTISEMENT for them. My local McDonalds had the N64 machines (one had Mario Tennis, one had Mario Kart 64, and one had Tigger Honey Hunt) and I played them every time I went there. Spread across the windows of the play place was a big ass sticker of the N64 logo with the words “We have the N64”. My biggest regret in life is not asking the staff if I could have that sticker when they got rid of it along with the machines, they probably would have gave it to me.

    I would say one of my best memories of a kiosk was at a Hills department store back in 1995. They had a virtual boy set up for customers to play & the game was Red Alarm. Even though it killed my eyes I was blown away at the 3d graphics & the sound.

    My most memorable game kiosk moment was playing the luigis mansion demo at McDonald’s. It was around 2002-2003 I believe, first experience with GameCube and solidified luigis mansion as one of my all time fav games!

    I remember going to target and playing the virtual boy gaming kiosk, I totally wanted one!

    I remember my Mom worked at Target and when I was little and be out with my Dad I would try to talk him into stopping there so we could "go see Mom". And then we would stop there and I would go straight for the virtual boy kiosk. We couldn't afford one and I thought it was so cool playing Mario tennis, probably because I could only ever play it for a couple of minutes at a time and the headaches didn't kick in. I'm still looking for a virtual boy to add to my collection to relive those great memories.

    Hills in the mid to late 80's had several Nintendo Kiosks, and my friends and I would walk there and get stuff from the snack bar and go play games!

    I used to go play the Sega kiosk at our local Sears in the kids clothing section. Always played sonic and the tazmanian devil game. Was the best thing ever at the time. Always loved going there.

    I remember there was one McDonalds we occasionally went to with N64 Kiosks playing Banjo Kazooie! I was still too young to understand video games, so I just watched the intro on repeat. Luckily it was a popular game so it was easy to find out what it was when I got older. Same thing happened with Spyro at a daycare I went to, but I did play that one. Had no idea what I was doing though.

    What a score, gonna be sick when you got the mcdonalds stickers or vinyl or whatever you end up doing back on it lol. There was an n64 kiosk type thing with 3 or 4 different consoles on each side in a hospital where my mom worked as a kid and sometimes we would have to wait there for her to get off work or while waiting for an appointment or whatever and would get to play donkey kong or mario 64 on that until the time. Nostalgia af. That man has a nice collection too

    Me and my friend used to drive 15 miles from where we lived to go to a store called Apex in the Swansea mall in Swansea Massachusetts which no longer exists, we would play NHL 95 on the SEGA Genesis kiosk for like 2 hours sometimes until the manager would finally tell us we were being too loud we had to leave for the day. Awesome memories👍👍

    For me, there was a GameCube kiosk at my dentist and they had it for a while, it was fun to ask another kid in the waiting room to play double dash with them (that was the most common game they put in there), but then now they replaced it with an iPad and mobile games, wow.

    My best memory was when the N64 just came out before Xmas and the Hollywood video had Starfox 64 to try out on a kiosk. I played it with my dad and we both had a blast with the game. A couple weeks later my dad got me a n64 for xmas and a couple games including starfox!!! I grew up very poor so looking back I know my dad had to bust his ass to get me that for xmas.

    My first official job was as a bagger at a commissary (military base grocery store) at 14. Every time I went on break, I’d go to the PX (military base department store) and play either StarFox 64 or Pokemon Snap for most of my break time.
