Cartridges Series

Cartridge Story

Cartridge Story was a line of multicarts released by RCM Group in 1990. There exists three different cartridges each with different game counts.

  • 72-in-1 Cartridge Story
  • 80-in-1 Cartridge Story (Ⅱ)
  • 90-in-1 Cartridge Story (Ⅲ)

Golden Game

The Golden Game cartridges were part of another series of multicarts likely released by RCM Group between 1990 and 1992. Unlike, the previous series, these have a modular design. The menu would show a different game count in accordance with the presence of the data PROMs in specific locations on the circuit board. RCM could easily adapt the game count according to the incoming orders they received by just adding programmable memories. The menu design is mostly identical to the previous series with some additions such as an animated cursor.

This series of multicart got much more popular than the Cartridge Story one, notably in Taiwan and Canada. Other publishers eventually copied it and added games like Contra, that would be playable upon reseting the cartridge. However, it lacks some of the exclusive games found on the second and third volume of the Cartridge Story cartridges, some of the games also have some graphical issues.
