I'm just now in our hospital's on-call dental service with the wife having root canal treatment. There's not a dental camera in sight that beckons me to pick up a controller and remember when, so I can play again. 😢 It occurred to me... does that cartridge actually come out? I've never seen what the inside of one of those looks like, but I assume that it's not actually Jaguar internals of any kind... I'm wondering what they put in the cartridge...

Matt_B Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I'd reckon that it's either got an old video capture card or a SNES Jr. inside. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/351845-why-is-gaming-declining/page/6/#findComment-5291644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it was designed as a removable memory cartridge I guess that stored the video being taken of that oral examination with that camera on the tip of the handle piece. There's this too showing a mock up of what each piece is on pg2. https://archive.org/details/HotRodDSFinal/page/n1/mode/2up 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/351845-why-is-gaming-declining/page/6/#findComment-5291673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool that they decided to do something with the cartridge slot! Haha...

Classic Pac Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Anyone who says gaming is declining has not looked at the bigger picture which should include Retro Games. Old consoles at least some now are going for record prices, some games are now more expensive than rent. People are not buying them just to sit on a wall, they actually play them. I met a 20 something who recently had a PS2 party at their home. Take the gaming store I frequent, they literally sell more retro games than modern ones. Is it no wonder the modern systems have retro games. It is possible to get the Original Doom for the Switch, or do I have to remind everyone of that Toe Jam and Earl remake. Not to forget the tons of games you can get for mobile. I would say gaming is better than ever. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/351845-why-is-gaming-declining/page/6/#findComment-5299535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
