"Do you remember the Sega Channel? I never had a Genesis, but I believe Nintendo has done a similar thing with a hotel chain. Nintendo 64 games can be rented through the television set through an On-Demand like set-up. In fact, the movies that can also be ordered use the same setup. But what I love the most is the controller they use.
The controller has no port in the back for a rumble pak/ memory card, but it does have a patent message which states that the controlelr is patented (duh) and that if the controller is found missing, you will be charged $30 to your room."
