I find it interesting that Nintendo made game systems for the hospitality industry, whereas Sony, Sega, Atari, etc, didn't. I saw SNES games offered on Lodgenet when I was staying at a Holiday Inn in NYC. This didn't have a console in the room, and the controller was a special one made for the Lodgenet system, that plugged into the room STB. It had "Charge $25 if removed from room.", and a notice about how it wasn't compatible with home systems moulded into it. The games were chosen from a menu, and charged by the hour to your room bill for playing them. I've also seen SNES and N64 games offered on in-flight entertainment systems on planes. I believe it was called Nintendo Gateway, which was Nintendo games on a networked systems, such as IFE or hotel rooms
Great explanation on this special console 👍
