Just wanted to chime in and say I love the Atari 2600 Track Ball. Mine, although some yellowing on the ball (snicker snicker), still works great with Millepede.

A lot of carts in certain game libraries didn't have top labels (N64, Jaguar, Famicom, Master System, etc) so that argument is invalid. It must be some other reason. Maybe because they are just slightly wider than Genesis carts lol.
What a maneuver!

Argument is totally valid. All those carts suck for the same reason.

PS, some Famicom carts did in fact have top labels. http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2009/12 ... -cart.html

32X wouldn't need a top label if Sega shipped them with plastic boxes...
