If a person developed a new homebrew game what would be the best type of cart to use?
No I am not making a game but was just curious what game carts are similar to the Vectrex carts?

Old Intellivision carts if you can find them. However, somehow the molding was duplicated with the old Vectrex carts that Mark Shaker/John Dondzila produces, since they have the same shape and wording on them nowadays in regards to inserting them into the Vectrex correctly, having the one screw on the bottom and all.

Thanks, I thought some of the old computer carts looked similar in size. That is good that they are molding new carts instead of destroying old ones.

Yeah, Dondzila used to do the latter until he took over vectrexcarts.com from Mark Shaker. Shaker then did something--sent over materials or whatever the deal was; I don't know exactly--and all carts since then have looked like the original GCE-run Vectrex carts from back in the day, not filed-down Intellivision ones.

That's cool because we now can get homebrew games made that look like the original stuff.  |
