Elliot Coll of The Retro Future recently stopped by a friend’s house to check out an incredible rare Nintendo Game Boy M91 kiosk that sat in a shop between 1989 to 1993 before it was relocated to someone’s home. Eventually, this piece of history made its way onto eBay and the ended up in the hands of a Nintendo fan.
Unlike the Game Boy DemoVision kiosk, this one does not have a large CRT scren, but still meant to showcase the original Game Boy (DMG-01) in stores. There’s no screen mirroring to a TV—it’s just the Game Boy itself, mounted in a gray, upright plastic stand about waist-high, with a curved top and a slot locking the handheld in place. That’s right, there’s no fancy WideBoy board—just the DMG-01 wired directly to the kiosk’s power supply via a custom cable from its link port.

I’m pretty sure I played Tetris on a kiosk like that in Harrods in London, I think it would have been in December 1990, because I remember that trip was just after Mrs Thatcher got booted as Prime Minister,” said one commenter.
