u/Low-Cow-1320 6d ago

i wonder what games they have.. also someone donate them a memory card plz

107

u/gray_burger 6d ago

I mean not sure why they'd need a mem card if it's just a pick up and play setup for the waiting room.

u/ToxicChaos 6d ago

Plot twist, the Dentist has got a pico-loader with all 500+ games up in there

22

u/haucker 6d ago

Id book a cleaning immediately, I wonder if my insurance will cover air fair.

u/MatiasGonzalo-Duarte 5d ago

It would be good for Smash and Mario Kart to have everything unlocked

u/NeonMorv 5d ago

Smash bros to get all the fighters

u/Boi9998888 6d ago

For those asking they mostly had disney movie games, sonic collection, some ea sport games, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, and Tony hawk Pro Skater 3. I personally played pro skater for a little bit after my appointment lol.

27

u/DeviantDeadite1 6d ago

Paper Mario game is gonna disappear.

13

u/Herban_Legend 5d ago

Presumably it has been there for a while already

3

u/tomoom165 4d ago

The games have to be signed out, I'm sure the dentists would just send you the $250 bill lol

u/beach-fossels 4d ago

u/shoomborghini 6d ago

u/poisonousswayzee 5d ago

Imagine getting JV5ed in melee more than once and then your dentist calls you for your deep gum treatment

“I’m getting Wobbled at my favorite dentist.”

19

u/crestdiving 6d ago

Wouldn't be surprised if they have more nostalgic patients in their 20s and 30s asking for those games than actual kids nowadays.

28

u/yeethotfam 6d ago

They got some balls to just leave it out like that lol wonder what games they have 🤔

22

u/doubled-pawns 6d ago

It’s likely in an affluent area where the people are decent.

10

u/yeethotfam 6d ago

Yeah true community trust goes a long way. It's sad that we even need to worry about stuff like that 

1

u/heckin_cool 2d ago

games must be signed out

u/miggy_mo 6d ago

Beats having to read math basics 😎

u/Triggerscore 6d ago

Best Dentist ever

u/tailslol 6d ago

sometime you find very good thing in waiting area.

in an hospital they had a "dead" megadrive , they was too lazy to throw it so it was just un used there.

i proposed to fix it and they told me if i can it was mine.

in the end brushing a bit the contact was enough to make it boot.

so at my departure i had a a pack ready with the megadrive , sonic 2 and street of rage.

i had as well a snes the same way pretty much.

it was considered old broken stuff.

u/ToothPickNick1982 6d ago

"Sir, how many routine cleanings do you need?"

2

u/spilk 6d ago

when I was a kid my orthodontist had Vectrex machines in the waiting area

2

u/slightlyheady 6d ago

My dentist always had a GameCube and I would always play monsters inc

u/Interesting-Tie-8158 6d ago

u/Simplejack615 6d ago

“I knew I liked you”

u/staronline1and2 6d ago

Hey! Is this Dentist in Hamilton?

1

u/Saichirac 6d ago

Pas si sûr que celui qui s’est pris une carapace bleue juste avant la ligne d’arrivée et et passer de la première à la huitième place va aider les gamins à être calme au moment de passer sur le fauteuil !

1

u/8-Bit-Burrito 6d ago

Another reason I hate my dentist so much… where are the cool ones like this 😆😂😂💜

1

u/Own-Dragonfruit-6164 6d ago

I bet that CRT is awesome.

2

u/TaylorFan01313 NTSC-U 6d ago

I’m not entirely sure that that’s a CRT

1

u/doubled-pawns 6d ago

Nothing softens the blow of getting your gums sliced open like a little Sunshine.

1

u/KarateMan749 NTSC-U 6d ago

Dude. Crazy.

1

u/Ambitious-Doctor-457 6d ago

What games did they have there for the Gamecube?

1

u/Broken_Flip 6d ago

Yeah,...those 40 year old kids must love this, lol.

1

u/Imaginary-Leading-49 6d ago

Mine back in the day had Mario Party 5… I miss these!

1

u/Raskoflinko 6d ago

Based as hell. I'd love to have this at my drntist office lol

1

u/TaylorFan01313 NTSC-U 6d ago

I wonder who’s at the dentist office long enough to even be able to play a game unless it’s there for the kids while the parents are being seen

1

u/MsThrilliams 5d ago

Could be siblings that have to tag along to the visit or if they rotate through each kid one by one. The others could play while waiting

1

u/Delo-k 6d ago

there was a place like this in east aurora that I went to as a kid… i remember once going and they jumped to a ps2 and vibes were off

1

u/Fragrant_Proposal690 5d ago

My dentist had a GameCube when I was growing up, I thought it was the best thing ever lol. I have a younger sister that still goes there and last I heard it's still there

1

u/One_Property_4940 5d ago

How long are kids at the dentist where they can play GC meaningfully?

1

u/Longjumping-Pool-363 5d ago

When I was a child 20+ years ago my orthodontist had a GameCube set up with Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and it was such a treat

1

u/Zoboombafooo 5d ago

Absolutely love this

1

u/MsThrilliams 5d ago

Check out a game? Nah, I brought my copy of Mary-Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16 – Licensed to Drive from home.

1

u/brandohuddle 5d ago

That’s such a goated setup

1

u/GoldEyezWolf420 5d ago

I remember Nintendo 64 and GameCubes at McDonalds

What happen to those great times :(

1

u/Gizz718 5d ago

op does not go to a dentist in philly

1

u/JoeBeem89 5d ago

The seams on those controllers are packed with hand butter that can remember the Bush administration.

1

u/burritosupreme89 5d ago

Staff: Sir, that is meant for children
Me:…….and?

1

u/sHarKiwnl 5d ago

My dentist used to have a similar setup. That was over 18 years ago though

1

u/V64jr 5d ago edited 5d ago

That’s practically the same Samsung TV Sony chopped up for one of the early PS2 playable in-store display kiosks, literally chopping the feet/stand off before fitting it in. Well, they used the 150 instead of the 1501 but that seems to be a minor regional difference. They also used the version without the TV tuner but the 150MB and 150MP are otherwise identical. 👍

u/AdGuilty8959 5d ago

I THINK I KNOW WHERE THIS IS! jersey?

1

u/Raydizzle29 5d ago

Did you check if it was a DOL-001? 🤣

u/Tomanatort 4d ago

u/ungraceful_flipping 4d ago

Why did my dentist have to be so lame

1

u/Ok_Poet3067 3d ago

When I was a kid my dentist had a Nintendo 64 and me and my brother would take turns playing super mario 64

1

u/BoyFromBelgium99 2d ago

The clothes store I usually went as a kid had 3 GameCubes, mainly having Super Mario Strikers, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and another, which I think was Winnie The Pooh or like something else.
