    Look what I found behind my cupboard:

    Picture 1

    Picture 2

    Just wanted to show you, maybe this fits into obscure video gaming, cause the cartridge is not standard shaped and the place where i found it is also not that common ;)

    Sorry for the dust :p

    I always thought those were one of the greatest ideas ever as far as cart-based games were concerned.

    Indeed, I agree. I'd rather pay a little more on the cart price, than have to spend an extra £20 on a multitap. Innovation to save gamers' money! Hurrah for Codemasters and the MD.

    Indeed.
    The other cool feature I recall in a Genesis/MD cart was the super neat "link up" cable idea in the game ZERO TOLERANCE. Basically you had to mail away for a free cable that you used to plug into control port 2 with which you could link to another Genesis/MD system to play via linked mode. Of course, the Neo Geo pioneered this very feature with Riding Hero, Thrash Rally, and League Bowling, except their carts actually had little ports to connect a phono-to-phono audio cable to.
     
  7. Multitap + cart game? That's pretty damn cool!

    Micro Machines 2, Micro Machines '96 and Micro Machines Military also came in these carts. I played MM2 and '96 so much back in the day that J-Carts don't seem unusual to me at all ^_^

    As did Pete Sampras '96 and Super Skidmarks.
    The first Pete Sampras game and Micro Machines 2 were both also released on standard Codemasters carts.

    Really? Did those actually make it into production, too? I never knew that.
