Mainframe computer systems have a special terminal where the system operator can issue privileged commands to the system, to do things mere mortals can't do, like tell the system you've mounted a tape, or to authorize special privileges. When this is a single, permanent terminal, it's often called the '''Master Console'''.
Many video games have a master console as well. In this case, the master console is enabled either by a command-line option or a special key,
Note the term "master console" is being used here to keep from confusing with game consoles, the dedicated hardware used to play games. You usually can't get a console on a console, not even if it's a [[Sega Master System]].
