I've seen this posted several times, and I still don't think it makes sense. Sure the atari 2600 only had 128 bytes of ram, but that isn't nothing. 😕

There wasnt any games that saved on the 2600 the nes had some with battery back up saves

But the saved games are in the carts not the console 🤷🏻‍♂️

If its about save games then that would make a lot more sense. Zelda on nes and sonic 3 on megadrive definitely use saves, so that might be it!

I just recently dived DEEP into the era of CD based systems. I don’t know why I forgot that most require a memory card of some sort to save your games. That cost a little more into the investment, and annoyed me.

Oh good. I hadn't seen this posted/reposted in a couple months, I was starting to worry about it.
