It's no secret that I'm big on retro gaming. Therefore I've got a huge collection of older games on cart. Since storage wasn't a prerequisite back in those days, cartridges were an optimal medium. As games evolved, the need for greater storage has pushed games onto optical disc. At least, that's the case for games that are still released physically.
I love both mediums but I still prefer cartridges, simply because there is no loading. Sometimes it's necessary to blow on the connection edge to remove dust but that's about as messy as things get. Optical discs can often be scratched if they are not taken care of properly. And of course, there's loading to deal with which takes some of the fun away.
Which is your favorite of the formats?
