While I am unsure about next century I am a retro geek born before the
networks.
the 90s had the sega master system a few nentendo units and others.
For a reasonable part there were cartridges and so for a lot of us
retros this like we jumpped in the tardis and went back to the golden
years of 1992 and 3.
Oh to just put in a disk and have it just load and run is heaven.

Okay, I thought I might be missing something, and am relieved to hear
things are as they should be. I might put my own braille labels on the
boxes so I know before I open it up which game I'm getting.
I do love how the braille side of the cartridge can be read even when
the game is inserted into the system.
                 Gene, if you're curious and since
you're playing or have played Bewilder, I can tell you that the
cartridges have either the first word or as many letters of the first
word of the game's title that can fit in braille. for example, the
Bewilder game has the first five letters of Bewilder in braille on the
outer end of the cartridge.

I think that there is braille only on the cartridges because they all
feel alike. The braille I suspect allows you to tell which game the
cartridge has in it. Nothing else in the box needs it because it's
the only thing shaped they way it is.
I hope that makes sense.
I can't read braille, I'd love to know what each cartridge has on it.
Gene...
