When I saw the words "video game cartridge", before I even saw what the rest of the title was about I thought of Q Bert, which was the only game I ever had for the little-used Atari ST cartridge slot.


Foul-mouthed Q-Bert, on another format, yesterday

What game popped into your head when you saw the words "video game cartridge"?

[Lt Plonker]

No specific game, just the NES style cartridge. I love those chunky bastards.

You are a genius.

You are a genius.

This was a proper LOL my end too.

Ha ha, you bastard! 

Definitely makes me think of going round my mate's to play his NES, only to hve his little brother 'showing us' how to play Mario.
The little wanker hogged it for hours.

Ooh baby!

Possibly the greatest game ever.

The only reason I entered this thread was to post something similar. Well done.

Recognition! At last!

Me too. I did a very loud lol. A llol perhaps. Then I told my gf, and a friend on FB, but obviously passed it of as my own.
