You just put a crick in my neck I haven't felt in over a decade and a half.

Super Mario Sunshine demo anyone?

I remember beating the original StarFox on one of these. They had to get someone with a key to come reset the game because it was stuck on the credits. That was a proud moment for little me!

Blowing my 12-year old mind with this one. How were you able to be in the store that long?

If I recall correctly StarFox had a hidden level that if found and completed let you skip a large portion of the game. There may have been an alternate end boss too. It's been awhile!

That’s some next-level gaming there

Why were they so high up?!

Can't rage out and punch it if it's too high to reach.

Probably to keep kids from playing too long.

Right in the feels. I also have distinct memories of going to Best Buy and playing the original Halo on their gaming pc’s. Blew my mind at the time because our computer at home was nowhere near powerful enough to play Halo.

This reminded me that I played Rogue Squadron 2 almost exclusively in this position.

Fond memories of playing Super Mario World and Street Fighter II on the SNES demo machines back in the early 90s.
