Can confirm, I own Atari 2600 carts from the 1970s that still function. Heck, as a kid I had a copy of Yoshi's Story on the N64 where the casing had been smashed in, but it still worked. Optical discs by contrast are easily scratched and most from that long ago don't work any more. |
If someone told me back in 80s that we still won't have crystal based (or something similar that was in the realm of SciFi back then) storage in 3rd decade of 21st century, and that cartridges from early console gens would still be the best (if not most cost effective) way to deliver games, I would probably think they were crazy - yet here we are.
