I prefer downloads over discs or cards anyway
I'd much rather own the disc/card

Definitely remember seeing them in the early-mid 2000's

There were also those e-reader card games for the GBA, so yeah they've been around for at least a good 15-20 years

No, because starting the DS onward handhelds just used what amounted to SD Cards rather than normal cartridges.

No, those are cards.
And as stated by game systems have been using cards since 1972. Long before disks were ever used.

Indeed, they used HuCards, also known as Turbochip in USA, which was a derivation of the BeeCard which was used for a couple of MSX games.

That was what I thought the post meant.

Though it has been a few years since I powered up my TurboGrafx console...

That bit about "video games going all-digital" though really get me. All video games are digital, regardless of where they are stored.

I remember legitimately wanting a HyperScan when they first came out. Still kind of curious to play one.


Have you seen the AVGN episode dedicated to it?

What about the HuCards for PC Engine and Sega Cards for Sega Master System, as have already been mentioned? And, more properly, DSi and 3DS use cartridges for games, and memory cards for saves.

They're considered cards more so than carts, given the structural and functional similarity to SD and other memory cards. Carts did not store data on flash memory, cards do.
