Is it possible the display controller was broken? N64 joysticks weren't the most resilient and hoo boy did kids abuse those demo setups ๐
That's actually a really cool thing we won't see anymore: I remember those demo stands everywhere. Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, whatever.
It was kinda cool walking up and just trying something... in my experience for like, 30 seconds before Mom was like "C'mon we have to go." and I'd be hoping we passed by it again before trudging down the paper towel aisle or something... ๐
