RG: These new multi-carts represent Retro-Bit’s first venture into publishing games on cartridge. What drove the decision to try this?
Richard Igros: As you know, most of our consoles utilise original cartridges, and some from multiple consoles such as the Super Retro Trio that plays original NES, SNES, and Genesis cartridges. And one of the most common questions we get is where cartridges can even be found anymore. So we wanted to take away some of the legwork of having to track down these classic games that both work and are priced fairly. And so Multi Carts were born! Let us find the games for you and put them on a single cartridge. Spend less time searching and more time playing!
RG: How did you come to choose Data East and Jaleco as the initial partners for this project?
Richard Igros: We are very lucky to have worked with both Data East and Jaleco for our plug and play consoles. So when we decided to work on these cartridges, we couldn’t think of a better place to start than with the popular libraries from Data East and Jaleco!
RG: What factors went into deciding the games in each package?
Richard Igros: As I’m sure you’ll find when browsing the library in each cartridge, we really wanted to provide great games that we not only played growing up, but that also brings a great variety of games to play through.
RG: Are the games region-locked?
Richard Igros: This first run of cartridges will in fact be region locked and are intended for NTSC consoles.
[PAL cartridges are available in the new year.]
