What's best: Cartridge, CD-ROM...or cassette??

I just like the way Carts feel against my skin.

Carts for me - and I've used everything except for the printed card.

I find that the limited capacity forces developers to be more creative and not rely on stuff like FMV to pull in the audience. Zero loading times compared to any other format is the best thing for a seamless gaming experience. The capacity limitations also forced programming teams to work within the limitations - often leading a much better end-experience for players. With tapes, floppy discs and optical media most developers just decide "We're almost outta space - stuff it, we'll just make it a multiload / multi-disc game. Most developers nowadays have a tendency to simply pad their games with loads of flashy-looking FMV that to me almost always adds nothing to the gameplay or storyline.

Good point.

I once placed my genitals in the megadrives cart slot. Sooo smooth

That's not a big slot, I prefer the NeoGeo Fatal Fury cart for a snug fit myself.

Neo Geo Fatal Fury: a snip at £120!!

[r0jaws]

Worth it.

All formats have their pros and cons.
But personally, I like to have a proper printed manual to read while installing new software. These days, some gamers want their game to load up in split seconds rather than 30-40 seconds. What I'd like to do get some fourteen year old gamer who's used to high frame rate, photo-realistic graphics and loading times of ten-twenty seconds in front of an '80s 8-bit computer set up and see how they'd cope with the five-ten minute loading time.

I love tapes. The wasted time. The anticipation of a failed load.

Disk-drives were perfect if you had a floppy!

carts are the best format they seem to last forever plus gameboy is cart based and if you haven't played mortal kombat 1 and 2 on gb you haven't lived

[gunbladelad]

Caution : Mortal Kombat 1 on GB may cause psychosis. (Beat-em-ups just don't work on the original GB line in my opinion...)
