It did make the cartridges more expensive than the ones without the enhanced chips, which stunk.
You could have multiple SuperFX games on SNES and you had to pay for similar / same added hardware several times over.
I’d still take those special carts than not have them at all but just offering a counterpoint. Cartridges were expensive especially when you adjust for inflation.
but in addition to the capacity expanding add ons inside the cart… you also had virtually no load times.
I wish the advent of large scale flash storage would herald the return of carts, since they can be even bigger than blu-rays now, and on top of that all the crazy stuff you could do with them.
I miss sticking carts in carts.
i miss consoles that you could add other consoles to.
Things you just categorically could not do with a game running from a disc instead of a cartridge, BTW.
Cartridges were awesome and should come back. They gave you something fun to collect too. You could see all your games

I miss the weird, wacky ingeniusness of it all.
Now consoles are just desktop PCs with DRM.
