Rackmount 12-head Nintendo 64 units
« on: April 01, 2004, 05:52:06 pm »
We have one of these things at work in our hotel.

It is a rackmount N-64 system. It can play as many as 12 different games simultaneously on 12 different TV sets. The games are all on a hard drive.

The whole thing is in a single rackmount box about 4" tall.

Now, my question is this.

Where in the heck can I get one of these things? I'll bet you could pop the hard drive out and load EVERY N64 game onto it fairly easily.

Where do those hotel systems go to die? I bet the boneyard is full of them given that they aren't really suitable for consumers. I bet they depreciate 'em and then sell 'em off as scrap like old PCs.

Maybe a wholesale used market?

It'd be a really cool toy to own. Certainly somewhat unique.

My company sent me to Montreal to train staff on new equipment. And was staying at this hotel. In the rooms beside the TV's was a playstation controller. You went to channel 80 and there was menu of games to play you choosed the game with the remote. A few seconds later the game started. I wonder how that system worked?
Curls in the squat rack !?!?!

Same thing, likely a rackmount system, probably had a disk changer rather than being hard drive based.
