      I've mentioned just yesterday on somebody else's (Froggy Flips) RUclips 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

    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 entered the enclosure and sat down, speakers were blasting, and I was blown away. Didn't play Star Fox again till the 64, but I'll never forget that night, that experience.

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.

At my local McDonalds in Wauchula, Florida, they had one, but kids kept vandalizing it (one of the controllers was eventually ripped out) and fighting over it, so they had to remove it. It was replaced with a touchscreen game kiosk with timers so that children could take turns, but that was removed eventually as well. Nowadays, that space is completely empty.

    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.

    Back in '07-'08, my local sears had a gamecube qiosk that had metroid prime loaded on it. That was the first time I ever played a metroid game and got hooked on the series ever since.

    Early 80's, I remember playing ADVENTURE and YARS REVENGE on the ATARI kiosk at K-mart after checking out the Star Wars figures. Some times there would be a line of kids waiting to play and there was a 5 or 10 minute timer where the game would reset. Once, I was last in line and it was finally my turn. As I get up to play, some Karen comes up and says "You've been playing for awhile, it's my kid's turn". As a 10 year old, I was shy and introverted, but there was no freaking way her brat was going to steal my time so I said "I just got here". She left to go get an employee to complain...by the time she got back, my 5 minutes was up. I think I found the Original Karen? Still pisses me off....

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

    I remember going to a McDonald’s in Scottsdale, Arizona when my grandmother would come down from northern Arizona to visit, when I was a kid, I remember the GameCube and PS2 kiosk very well and would play it constantly when I would go, then I remember one day I went and they took it out, that was one of the most saddest days I’ve experienced.

    I had heard on Reddit about McDonald's restaurants in the US having Nintendo 64 and GameCube kiosks in the play area, with some of them still having the kiosks but with CRT burn-in and/or GameCube start-up errors as they were never maintained.
    (1:12) A club I visited for an event a member was having had an Xbox 360 demo kiosk in their arcade, but there seemingly was no game disc inserted, and no Internet connection. It had the original 'blades' dashboard.
    Also, McDonald's restaurants in Singapore never had Play Place, but the old McDonald's at Changi Airport Terminal 1 (before they moved to a different location within the airport complex) had, up until they moved in the late 2000s, Internet kiosks at a big structure in front of the ordering area (this was before they had ordering kiosks). I was wondering why the Windows mouse cursor was shadowed but it had the old Windows 98 icons, and when one crashed, it turned out they ran Windows 2000 Professional, which was never sold on the consumer market, and we went straight from Windows 98 SE to Windows XP at home. When it started up, the login prompt was set to log in to a 'mcdonalds' user account. The desktop loaded, but with no desktop background, desktop icons hidden, and Windows taskbar appearing for a few seconds until SiteKiosk started up and took over, brainwashing the taskbar so there was no way to minimise windows and get to the Start menu once it launched. When they moved once, they had Windows Vista Business on their then-new Internet kiosks, but couldn't be bothered to buy a copy of a newer version of SiteKiosk, and instead used Windows SpeedState, until they removed the kiosks entirely a few years later.

    I was going to say Wal-Mart as well. My mom worked there. My dad and I would pick her up. The N64 kiosk was right next to the soap aisle. Even till this day, every time I walk down a soap aisle, I think of playing Mario 64.

    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👍👍

    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.

    Most memorable gaming kiosk was when me and my dad drove to the city like 40 miles away to buy some PC components for my dad. I was like 4 at the time, so I didn't even know what a PC was back then (like 2001-2002). They had a gamecube kiosk set up, and I just stood there and played a Sonic game (had to be Adventures 2 as it fits the time frame) while he shopped for parts. I had never really played a video game before, so this was my first time.
    I remember getting stuck at a ramp in a level that looked like Green Hill Zone, and I couldn't progress further since I didn't know the button combinations, etc.
    After that first real gaming experience I had, all I talked about with my dad was about Sonic. I couldn't stop talking about how much fun I had (even though I was stuck at a ramp for like 20 minutes), so he took me to the bargain bin and we looked for a cheap PC game I could play on the computer he was building, and we got Gilbert Goodmate, a point and click game (an offbrand Monkey Island pretty much).
    I played that game for weeks and weeks until they got me Monkey Island 3, which I played for months lol

    I remember back when I was in the hospital 20 years ago there was a McDonalds on the 1st floor. Mind you this was a children's hospital and they had an N64 kiosk. I also remember back in 2007ish I was with my parents when my mom went out to buy a new Mazda 5. At the Mazda dealership they had a random Gamecube Kiosk in the middle of the show room floor with a Mario Party game in it.

    My most vivid gaming kiosk memory would have to be when I was 6 years old at a Target. They had Ape Escape on the Ps1 kiosk but someone had stolen the rubber tips of the joysticks so all that remained where the metal prongs sticking up. Didn't stop me from playing though. Unfortunately the game was on the part where you first get the Water Net. For those of you who haven't played Ape Escape, to descend in the water with the water net you need to press the L3 button. It was painful.
