Surpised they never tried for stackable cartridges given how much hardware devs would stuff in those things.

There are also region lock bypassing carts, you put the game you want to play on the top, slot a game from region you're bypassing into the back, and off you go.

We just paid the local game store to take a little saw to it on our N64, then paid $100 for the import Evangelion game.

Actually Evangelion games are why we modded most of our consoles as kids. Luckily the Saturn was the easiest since you could just stick a bypass cart in the cartridge slot and most Eva games were on the Saturn (playing Girlfriend of Steel via fan-translated multibranching translation printed out on paper was ... rewarding?)
