  After Hours did a segmetn on them a little while ago.  They showed cubicles
where each person had their Nintendo game and TV.  From what I remember, it
seemed as if you could even call up with a question about the game itself, 
and they would forward your call to a person experience with that game.  He/she
would talk you through it as they played it on their own system.
