  My mind personally goes back to cartridges here. But yeah, load times on early disc games were atrocious.

      I don’t know what this gif is about; blowing in cartridges was an NES thing, not an SNES thing.

        Blow on a cartridge was a cartridge thing. The idea being to blow dust off the connector pins, the console itself is irrelevant.

        I’m with you - I never had problems with my SNES games starting, whereas having to re-insert NES games was common. If other people had problems with SNES games, I never heard about it.

  LOL, what load times? On old consoles, you hit the power switch and you’re instantly at the title screen.
