Should have posted this during the N64 decade....

Recently (back in May), I had to go to the US on business. I was staying in a hotel and conference centre out in the sticks, in New Jersey.

In my hotel room they had a TV with pay-per-vew movies and built pay-per-view N64 games and attached to this huge TV was an N64 joypad!

It was 6.95 (+ sales tax) USD for an hour's paly, and I thought it was interesting that they had both Zelda OOT and Majora's Mask (both called Legend Of Zelda ) and that anyone would have the time/money/inclination to play a game like that in a hotel! Talk about great content, wrong application.

Anyway, here's some screenshots of all the games it had. Some classics and some not-so-classics there too (Ready 2 Rumble single player, anyone?).

Apologies for the quality, they were taken with my 1 megapixel phone camera.

Indeed, I've been in a couple of US hotels in the past with these present (also I've seen SNES and PS1 variations too).
