    Not sure if this should go here or Rare & Obscure, but here goes. A friend of mine recently asked me about the video display gimmicks that Toys R Us had when the N64 was freshly released. It was a big TV mounted above you, and at around waist level there was a board with box art. Press the box art and a video for that game would play. Does anyone remember these, or have any pictures or info on them? Google has been fruitless thus far.

    Looks like Nintendo Age was down when I tried accessing it before. That was exactly what we were looking for, thank you very much!

    I'm remember these! I've seen a few xbox 360 and ps3 displays up for sale on a few forums, maybe once on ebay. But i'm sure they were licensed to the company displaying them and had to recycle them some how. There's gotta be a few floating around.

    I remember that Nintendo display. There was a way to crash it by pressing certain button twice. It'd try to load nonexistient video data, display blank black screen for a couple seconds, then go to gray screen as the LD gets stuck trying to load something that isn't there at all. The machine had to be shut down to reset it to working condition.
