I heard about this on a HVGN review of D2. I looked further into information on it, and saw on wikipedia it was scrapped before launch, but was used in a number of odd ways and as a Konami arcade board.

Has anyone played the Konami arcade games:

Polystars (1997)
Total Vice (1997)
Battle Tryst (1998)
Evil Night / Hell Night (1998)
Heat of Eleven '98 (1998)

And then this quote from the wikipedia page is interesting to me, "The M2 technology is still in use today. It is mostly used in automated teller machines, and in Japan in coffee vending machines.

In the late 90's and from 2000 on, the system was also sold in the interactive kiosk market. In 2000, PlanetWeb, Inc. began offering software to allow the M2 to be used as an Internet appliance."

Has anyone been to these coffee machines or walked by the kiosks with its technology? Or worked for a company that used them? To me this is a very weird usage of a video game system, or more specifically the technology in it. Have there been other consoles not released that had similar fates?
