Cartridge-Based Games

[Bravetriforcer]

A topic dedicated solely to discussing cartridge-based games, your history with them, which ones you like, how durable they are against hammers, etc. As well the systems/Every single Nintendo handheld you have that play them. Forget about your Xboxes and Playstations and break out the Super Nintendo and the Genesis (And all its add-ons).

 

I've been rummaging through my old SNES games (A whole 9 of them) and found two the-fuck-is-this games my Dad bought from Blockbuster almost 10 years ago. MicroMachines and Wings 2: Aces High. A racing game and an aerial combat game. I remember playing both for all of 5 minutes before getting bored to shit and going back to Super Mario RPG.

 

Hopefully your stories are better than mine.

Still have my NES and Genesis, but the Genesis' RF cable is broken so I have to get a new one. Still, some of my favorite games of all time are on my old consoles. Sonic & Knuckles, Mario 3, Contra... I could go on forever. But unlike SOME people, I'm not so opinionated about old games as to think that they're still the best games nowadays.

 

Almost forgot, when I was really young my family actually rented a N64. We stayed up 'till midnight playing Pokemon stadium minigames.

I was gonna play Genesis today but now my new controller and AV cables don't work because fuck my life.

 

I just wanted to play some Genesis ;_:

I love cartridges. They just feel so... sturdy, compared to compact discs.

I had more fun with cartridge-based games then I did with CDs.

 

Something that I wanna know how it started was, how did every kid in America that used cartridges know to blow into the cartridge and then it would work? I learned it from my Dad, but how the heck did he know?

[Kirkreng]

I never had any cartridge games(or consoles to play it on ) and even I know that.

[Kyon]

Superman 64.

[Bravetriforcer]

 

I vaguely remember renting that game once. I was not pleased.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Superman 64.

Ah, you mean the Commodore 64 one? It wasn't so bad, had some interesting game mechanics and good SID music.

[Lux Arbuckle]

Did anyone else on here have the Sega Channel?

 

I miss that. It was so awesome.

[HoboJim]

I went down into the basement to see if the broken old nes was still there, after a bit of excavation i actually found it! No cartridges tough...

 

 

Except the one still in it! [ success! ]

 

 

Its too bad i dont have the RC adapter... Or i would totally open it and take a look. It feels bit odd that the one game that seems to be left is the one i never liked playing as a kid

Im gonna have to bid on some adapters on the net

 

[Alyxx Thorne]

I fixed a NES easily. All you need is a replacement connector really as that is usually what breaks on it.

[HoboJim]

Well mine fell to the floor, about 1.7 M. I WILL make it work tough.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Then I think it could be a bigger problem than just a broken connector. Thank god they don't require gamebits to open.

[Bravetriforcer]

You'd think something that inspired the meme of "Nintendium" would be able to survive a palty fall like that.

Super Metroid, super Mario brothers, Kirby's avalanche!

 

i was damn good at all of them too. my favorite was always Super Metroid..
