Here's a relatively obscure one most people don't know about. This is the Sente SAC-1 arcade machine. It was only the second or third arcade board to use cartridges like the Neogeo MVS or Sega Naomi.

What made it unique was that it was subscription-based. Instead of buying the games, arcade operators would buy the machine, then pay a subscription fee. As long as they were subscribed, they could freely trade in the software it was running for a different game once a month.

It's basically a VERY primitive version of the subscription-based digital distribution arcade machines that are common in Japan. Stuff like the ALL.net P-ras games or NesicaxLive.

You mean literal fucking garbage. How in the goddamn fuck are kids these days so fucking brainwashed by goddamn gimmicky, worthless modern VR trash that they actually talk about the goddamn shit Virtual Boy as if it was anything but a pile of fucking shit?
Pathetic.

It wasn't utilized to its full potential. Developers were too caught up with the notion of using it to make interactive movie games and didn't realize the potential of being able to store thousands of different still frames and use them as static backgrounds.
