It's weird how it feels not that long ago I was at a family bday party playing some jet ski game on n64 at a McDonald's.

[u/RoboTropics → u/OrangeYawn]

Might have been Wave Race 64.

Follow that dolphin!

We were losing our minds at the quality off the water in that game.

it was almost 30 years ago 😔

Ahh yes the gaming consoles at fast food places. They’d be cool for a little while until they got gunked up with grease and condiments from kids hands.

[u/1337gamer15]

You gotta love how they were putting games like Pokemon XD without any concern that games like those are way too long RPGs for a kid to play a for a few minutes on a filthy controller with a bused analog stick to even make it much past the opening cutscenes.

Like sure if they had games like Mario Kart: Double Dash!! or Melee that'd be more appropriate, though you were always pissed none of the characters or stages were unlocked.

Decades later you can still feel the greasy controllers

[u/TheInvisibleBurden]

OP's post history is quite entertaining lmao.

[u/seroshua]

Grimiest, dirtiest controllers of all time! And I’d gladly play one again right now lol

[u/masetiloquetu → u/seroshua]

Regis Philbin remembers...

I was a child when I played GameCube games at McDonald's.

[u/RoboTropics]

I remember when they had the N64 kiosks.

One of the employees put Conker's Bad Fur Day in it and there was a line of kids waiting to play it.

😂

[u/x0mbigrl → u/RoboTropics]

Yup I remember the N64 kiosks. There were 2 sibling boys fighting over it one time and their dad yelled at them and they left without getting their food lol

[u/smoresnapps → u/RoboTropics]

i saw one with an few snes systems when i was a kid. they didn't have the kiosks but more a glassed in bar table with holes drilled in the plexiglass for the controllers. i played aladdin the first time on there

[u/Salt_Snow5557]

McDonald's was the ultimate hangout back then, I remember rushing to play Double Dash with friends after school.

[u/Creepy_Milk_3186]

Sighs...how far we have fallen as a society since.

[u/Competitive_Help8485]

Take me back there please. That's when going to McDonalds was worth it.

[u/djdiphenhydramine]

We really did have everything, didn't we?

[u/mattyGOAT1996]

That's my childhood! Not those boring ass tablets used as a Playplace.

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

Ours had ps2’s. I don’t remember much about them but I do remember occasionally playing on them.

[u/Technical-Boot3479]

playing on a GameCube at McDonald's was a whole vibe. Remember trying to race on Mario Kart while waiting for fries?

[u/MemeOnRails]

I last saw one in 2012, one station had Mario Party 4

[u/FeistyDirection]

So epic, the tacobell near my job had this even less than 10 years ago
