I honestly cant think of 1 cartridge based game, for any system that stopped working..... ever.
Meanwhile... CDs....

Well... gameboy games had batteries in them, when they ran out you couldn't save the game anymore... I daren't turn on my copy of pokemon blue incase the battery is fried T_T.

But yeah cartridges are much much more reliable in general.

You don't have to worry about that. The battery slowly dies as you don't use it. Once it's dead. It's dead. Just needs to be replaced. Luckly it's not that hard. If you have the basic skills. Worse thing is if the battery leaks (rare). So check on it. If you can. I recently replaced all my Pokemon Game batteries. Even though they worked. 16 years is a long time. IF the battery is dead. The game still works. It just won't save.
