Looking for info about game "vending machines"

During the mid-90s some stores had a machine that created game originals "on-demand", and you could buy games for several game systems, on both tapes and floppies. Does anyone have any info about what these machines were named or which company made them?

EDOS sounds like the droid you are looking for. There is some stuff on mobygmaes about it, iirc, but I'm failing at finding that right now.

here in the netherlands i know companies like Dixons and Vroom & dreesman had them. I bought some of these back them.
the quality isn't bad, good chrome tapes and disk.
but lacking the cool original art sometimes.

Yep I also remember seeing this at the local Dixons at the time. I admit I never got anything from them because when games are duplicated on demand only means these games will never be found in the bargain bin and retain their original prices.
