I remembered having trouble the first time a tried n64 at toys r us.

I couldn’t walk in a straight line easily.

I agree with you about ps2. I remember thinking that things could not get much better from that point on.

Is it possible the display controller was broken? N64 joysticks weren't the most resilient and hoo boy did kids abuse those demo setups 😂

That's actually a really cool thing we won't see anymore: I remember those demo stands everywhere. Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, whatever.

It was kinda cool walking up and just trying something... in my experience for like, 30 seconds before Mom was like "C'mon we have to go." and I'd be hoping we passed by it again before trudging down the paper towel aisle or something... 😂
