In this video I said the Atari 2600 was the first home console to use cartridges. Many people pointed out that was incorrect and the Fairchild channel F was the first home console to use cartridges. I’m sorry I’ll do better research moving forward :(
how dare you not know about the Fairchild channel F, everyone had a Fairchild channel F, who doesn't know about the Fairchild channel F, my grandfather died holding his Fairchild channel F, everyone collects for the Fairchild channel F. Kidding ofc. Its fair mistake to be made, the Atari 2600 was definitely the first main stream console to use em
F 😔
FYI, The back of the Pokémon Stadium 2 cartridge was Silver.
And has glitter
Yup, it was a dual-color cartridge, which was so cool! I was disappointed he didn't cover that.
90's console and cartidge design was so heckin' cute and iconic that all of this stuff is going to be in museums 200 years from now.
It really was awesome. I'm slowly building a collection of GB/GBC/GBA era pokemon games specifically because of that. Sadly it lost that charm by the DS era; everything just started looking like SD cards.
The black Pokemon cartridges had IR for communicating with the Pokewalker, I think they definitely count. I think there were also [other] DSi-enhanced and DSi exclusive DS games with special cart colors. The DSi exclusives were a lighter gray color.
The Gen 5 Pokemon games were also translucent for IR capabilities, since you could use IR to trade with people. Which I don't blame anyone for not knowing because it's such an obscure feature.
Brief sidenote: The first console to introduce cartidges for its games wasn't the 2600, but the Fairchild Channel F, though it's true that it was the 2600 that made cartridges popular.
I like that homebrew and rom hack and reproduction developers have continued this trend of colorful or themed carts.
If I remember correctly, Pokemon Stadium Gold and Silver was only half gold. The back half was silver.
Oh yeah you’re right! Forgot to mention that.
Yum I'm looking at my stadium 2 cartridge right now lol
I always thought the red color for maximum carnage was because a)Carnage and b) the games tagline in advertisements was, "Paint the town red!"
I was always fascinated by alternative color cartridges. I'm sad the switch era hasn't brought them back. Hopefully the switch 2 brings the rare alternative coloring back
Your humour and video style is genuinely like Scott The Woz and that’s why I love it
Thank you! Scott’s videos are a big inspiration for my work
Blue famicom disk were for competition. You would take the disk to a kiosk with your high score to see if you had a score high enough to win different prizes.
There's plenty of colored cartridges for the Atari 2600.
Possibly the rarest of all is "Air Raid" and it happens to be a sky blue color and even has a handle.
Tiger Electronics made games for the system and their cartridges were different colors.
For example, "Jawbreaker" was bright red and "King Kong" was a light blue (both tiger games).
You missed boktai 1 to 3 cartridges that used solar panels for gameplay
SUNLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
Nice call, glad some of us are still out here
I had to mod my rom in order to play it.
air raid on the 2600 had a baby blue cartridge
Nice job on this video, I liked it quite a bit! Hope it reaches more people. The Famicom cartridge- rainbow is honestly pretty sick.
Thank you so much! :D
Topsy Turvy is dual molded. It has Green on the front and white on the back.
You actually can have colored CDs; not just in the label on top, but the dye on the bottom can be colored certain things. It's pretty cool.
The video was a real fun watch,
Can't believe this amount of quality is from a channel of only 20 subscribers....
Oops...
21 subscribers now ;)
Aww thanks! :D
Guys don't say awwww@@Jacks_game_roomit's a feminine habit
2:42 Tbh, the deadpan, monotone feel your voice gives off describes actually how I feel about NES World Championships on Switch lol
I believe we are supposed to call them cartridges of color now.
The first home console to use cartridges was the Fairchild Channel F, a year before the Atari 2600
Funnily enough, if I remember correctly, it had bright yellow cartridges
Oh cool, thanks for telling me. I’ve never heard of it before lol
There definitely was something sort of cool and special about the colored games especially the gold zelda carts
#BringBackColoredCartridges
Cool video!
Its funny cause the comic version of maximum carnage had doom amounts of violence but they couldnt just make an m rated spider-man game lol
nice vid, I like how you have the gameplay in the background
Thank you! :D
My cousin’s friend has a Zelda cartridge that’s grey like a regular NES cartridge
Great video! Definitely something I had noticed about cartridge games but never thought to look into why some were certain colors. Now I am going to hold on to the slimmest of hope that the Switch gets a random colored cartridge.
A scarlet and violet cartridge would’ve been perfect for Pokemon.
The gold GBA Camera was also different internally - it had Zelda stamps to put on photos.
Edit: Pokemon Stadium 2 wasn't a gold cartridge, it was a gold and silver cartridge (the back half was silver.)
as an active colored cartridge collecter i love this
Thank you! :)
Hey! Nice video! I remember seeing colored cartridges and thinking "uau! these are special!" If you don't mind me correcting something: 0:54 the first home console to use cartridges was the Fairchild Channel F. Great story behind that console and its creator! You should look it up! 😉 Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Yeah I’ve been told a lot about the channel F since I made the video, dumb mistake on my part.
Oh man, don't worry about it. It was never a well known console, it's easy to forget about it. But once you search about it you never forget the Channel Fun. 😁 But the rest of the video is good! Nice theme. 🙂
@@CronicasVideojogos thanks again! :)
Tony hawk pro skater had a blue cartridge. Its sequel was yellow.
The best game boxes are the Wii U ones. That light blue color just hits different
The DS cartridges for Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver (as well as Black/White/Black 2/White 2) are actually a dark transparent red and not a darker grey, because they have an IR sensor in the cartridge.
As far as other fun facts about colored cartridges, I actually made a "custom" Pokemon Stadium that's half Red and half Blue to match Stadium 2 being half gold half silver.
👍
Oh that red and blue cartridge sounds so cool!
Would have been neat if N64 Spiderman was a hybrid of red and blue. They had the pieces to do so.
I think the coolest one you missed was that Japan got a totally unique yellow rumble cartridge for Pokémon Pinball. It's yellow like Pikachu!
Tbh I missed when Nintendo had colour in general. The N64, gameboy colour, gba, even the DS have a varity of colour but today most of the colours are limited to special releases of consoles or games; not the normality.
Same with a lot of things today; for a really long time I saw cars only come in greyscale locally and colours like red, blue and green were rare. There are a few more now but it was scary that for around 3-4 years there was just nothing. If Nintendo sold the nintendo switch in colours like red, blue, green, yellow, purple, etc.. on release it would definitely sell even more than it already has. Especially with xbox and playstation stuck on that black design (or black and white with those fins).
You’re so right. I remember when the switch first came out I wanted a blue left and right joycons. I thought it would be a matter of time. But here we are at the console’s end and we have like what, 7 joycon colors. Hopefully their next console will embrace color.
The acceptable name is "cartridges of color".
I think there was at least one orange cartridge for n64
aye this was a great video homie
one suggestion i can make to help you hit that 1k subs would be to change up your audio by improving your microphone or making your recording space less echo-y
keep it up! can't wait to experience the art you make homie
Thank you! I’ve been working on improving audio since then :)
Pretty good video Jack, I enjoyed how well researched and presented it is, I really want pick up some red colored cartridges, there’s something crazy about them, they make the games faster for sure 😂
Thanks! :)
I consider the cases of the games to be the cartridges when it comes to disc based games so for example when you see a red Wii game you know it's a Mario game. They never made a gold plastic case for a Zelda game though and Breath of the Wild doesn't come on a gold cartridge for the Switch sadly.
nice. ive been at work. nice to see uploads when i got back :D
I keep forgetting how expensive Pokemon Emerald is. I have one in really good condition, minus the battery being shot. If I'm ever out of a job for a month I know what I'm doing.
I thought it was so bad ass when I got turok rage wars on n64 and it had a black cartridge. the funny thing about that game is that there's also a standard grey version that has a bug fixed. I had no idea at the time, and so my sister and I were trying everything we could think of to win one those stupid creature tag missions which was impossible due to the bug.
loved this video!!!!
hope you make a video about disc art and when they made those shiny discs with shades of color
0:54 the first game console to use cartridges was actually the Fairchild Channel F
I wonder if anyone saw a yellow Gameboy cartridge thinking it was the Pokémon Pikachu (might have spelled that wrong) game but it turned out to be one of the Donkey Kong Land games
6:29 Pokémon Stadium 2 is actually gold colored in the front but when you flip it over the back side is silver.
on the note of ds releases, black 2 and white 2 had a pure black housing instead of the dark grey usually seen on ds games
The gold game boy camera was the legend of Zelda themed… '_'
Star Wars: Battle for Naboo on the N64 had a yellow cartridge.
Majora's Mask had a gold cartridge for some releases.
Rayman 2 on N64 had a green cartridge.
Rayman 2’s green cartridge is one of my favorites.
Wandersong on a ps4 disc is kinda funny
personal trainer walking and pokemon typing adventure also had black cartridges! i imagine they all are black because they come with bluetooth functionality inside the carts themselves (pkmn hgss had a pokewalker, personal trainer walking had two podometers and pokemon typing adventure had a whole keyboard)
Pokemon HG/SS didn't have bluetooth, they had infrared for the pokewalker.
@@m2pt5 ty for clarifying 🙏
Nice video dude 👍
Thank you! :)
I miss the days where i was the coolest kid on the block having super smash bros anf Majora's mask holographic edition
My friends would come over and play all the time,then i grew up now its just me playing these games 🎮 its not 2002 anymore lol
Only the front if the pokemon stadium 2 cartridge was gold, the back half was silver, matching the 2 gb carts
The pokemon stadium 2 cartridge was gold in the front and silver in the back
The blue disk system disks were simply the later ones in production, with the cover on the tape window ;)
I have a game called Big Nose The Caveman and it was a bootleg cartridge by the Camerica (might have spelled that wrong) company and it’s gold
Is it irony that they showed one of the supreme examples of Super Game Boy colorization as the example for having no color data @4:07?
Haha yeah I guess it is!
The DS Pokémon cartridges for Pokémon Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 are not dark grey or black. They are translucent dark red. Hold them up to a light and if you can see red in the cartridge it is an original cart. If you can’t it’s a pirates copy
good stuff!
Donkey Kong for Atari was off white.
Bro the blue border is encroaching on this channel too, somebody get that man out of there
Sadly, Europe missed out on gold carts for N64 Zelda titles. Maybe that’s why our box art was black instead of gold for OOT.
Not all American carts were gold either. There’s plenty of standard grey ocarina of times, mine is. All majora’s masks were gold except for the not for resale variants.
Nintendo really hated Europe or really any country apart from japan and the usa
I always wondered why some game cartridges were not in different colors besides the Famicom, SNES, N64, or Gameboy systems.
I believe they should've made every game cartridge a different color. Like the Super Mario Bros trilogy. Make the 1st game red, 2nd blue and 3rd yellow.
That’s a good idea!
You say black colored GB cartridges add color when played off a GBC, but I own 2 early era grey GB cartridges (Mario Land 1 from '89, and Kirby's Dreamland from '92) and they both add an albeit extremely basic color palette (black, white, pinkish red, faded blue) when played off my GBA/SP
The gameboy color does give all original gameboy games color but the games were not programmed with color so the GBC just swaps between random color palettes. You can actually change the color palette with button combinations on the start up screen!
Doesn't Pokemon Stadium 2 have silver on the back side?
I think zelda was gold for cartridges was because of the tri force.
4:11 those games didn’t work on all handhelds they didn’t work on the DS
Daffy Duck goes to Hollywood on Sega Genesis has a grey cartridge and case variant exclusive to Australia
UNDERRATED AS FRICK!!!!
Thank you so much :D
Going back to gba pokemon... japan released a pokemon green.
Another colored Gameboy cart is the Japanese version of Pokemon pinball, it's half yellow half black and the battery cover is black as well, also I thought hg/ss and black and white and their sequels were colored differently because they were meant to work with better on the DSI because of increased internet connectivity? But I'm probably wrong cause I can't think of any other carts that have that color
Oh the Japanese Pokemon pinball is so cool! Also you’re probably right about the DS Pokemon games.
The word cartridge refers to the housing around the media. Floppy discs are cartridges because of the plastic case around the internal disc.
Oh that makes sense. Honestly I just wanted an excuse to talk about the famicom disc system lol
They're not ROM cartridges though.
Good idea for a video
Thank you! :)
I'm going to call BS on that emerald cartridge at the end of the video back in 2020 or 2021 I sold my copy of emerald for $60
rayman 2 in europe wasnt green
0:54 erm, actually, *COUGH COUGH* channel F
Haha yeah I was very wrong on that
классное видео
Colored huh
I didn’t know about not being able to watch GBA movies on Gamcube, I never owned one of the movies myself but I had the player. That’s pretty silly you can’t haha.
One other thing, I was expecting you to go into Turok Rage Wars NTSC grey cart in the vid. I’m guessing you do know about it, but If you don’t know about it give it a search.
I believe the reason the GBA movies don’t work is that either Nintendo or whoever made the movies worried that people would record them on a VCR and return them. But I doubt there was ever much of a black market for SpongeBob episodes in the worst quality possible lol
Wasn't there a Bible game on NES in a Baby Blue Color? I think the AVGN had it.
6:41 FUCK THAT!
8:54 GASP! That's why I emulate them.
Yeah the blue one is more common to my knowledge
0:52 ! Do some more research man, the fairchild was the first home console that used carts.
My LoZ OoT cart isn't gold :'-(
neither is mine! :(
@@Jacks_game_room cue the obligatory scene from Austin Powers Gold Member where that Dutch guy says something.
Come to beazil

interesting video premise. consider yourself subscribed to
Thank you so much! :D
Come to brasil
Be more pc. Say "cartridges of color" instead.
Look on the bright side. Maximum Carnage isn’t a steaming pile of fucking shit
litearlly naything but pokemon is cheap lol
I'm not sure how you're defining your temporal constraints here, but cartridges with special colors haven't really gone away as much as they've become as niche as physical releases on cartridges have become. That is, they usually have a small, limited release. Limited Run Games, for instance, frequently releases physical versions of games both new and old in colorful editions alongside standard-color carts. A translucent purple Gameboy Advance cartridge for WayForward's Shantae: Risky Revolution is being released relatively soon through them. I think they might make the special carts both to eek out more cash from collectors and as a means to differentiate their carts from old, official releases. As you said, to "stand out."
Decent video. I would have liked to have heard more elaboration on which N64 games were released under which colors beyond what you mentioned.
