The Wonderful Wizard of Game

No, no YouTube video. You deserve better. Today I'm going to talk about what came in the mail. I finally got my copy of Lady Frog for the Odyssey2, but that isn't what I'm going to talk about. I also got something called a Game Wizard. It came with three cartridges. Mine is Star Wars-themed. I know nothing about Star Wars, but that was the only choice I had. Looking through eBay I saw a Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers-themed one and a VR Troopers-themed one. I wonder what would happen if I put a Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers cartridge in my Star Wars Game Wizard. Anyway, the thing looks to be similar to basically a Tiger Handheld from the mid '90s. Only this company (Micro Games of America) decided to make cartridges for them.
Which I like the concept a lot. But it is too bad they only made 3 of each. So I want to make more. Too bad there isn't a way to do that. The three cartridges I have are "Darth Vader's Revenge", "X-Wing Attack" and "Princess Leia's Rescue." I guess I have to get busy watching Star Wars. I used to have a DVD trilogy somewhere but I lost it. But anyway, it would be a good movie (ANY movie would be a good movie to do this), to watch on VHS. And when I get bored (and my attention span screams to do something else), all I'd have to do is stop the tape and it saves my spot for me. Wow. What an interesting concept. No more fiddling through dumb menus and watching the forced previews and movie titles every time I put a disc in.
Well, I guess it doesn't HAVE to be Star-Wars related. But I'm basically wishing here. Someone would have to get a cartridge, figure out the chip inside and how it's configured, make a 3D printer of the shell, make sure it fits in the Game Wizard. How do you measure something to make a 3D printer file to tell the 3D printer what to print? It would be pretty cool just to have a 3D printed cartridge shell that fits right into the Wizard. The cartridges are very difficult to put in. Tomorrow I will attempt to turn the game on and play it. Now it's time to do something else.
