The Complete List of Physical Game Media, Ranked from Worst to Best

Dead Tree
It’s rubbish and you have to type stuff.

Cassette Tape
Takes aaaaaaages and breaks too easily. Mmm, spooly.

5.25″ Floppy
Too floppy.

3″ Floppy
Too Amstrady.

3.5″ Floppy
Perfect for years. Not any more.

PSP UMD
Was never a good idea.

CDs (PS1, PC, MegaCD, etc.)
You spin me right round baby right round.

Dreamcast GD-ROM
Like a CD++.

DVDs (PC, PS2, Xbox, etc.)
They had films on them too.

Bluray (PS3/4, Xbone, etc.)
So much storage.

Wii U Game Discs
Hurry up and go touch it (but not the data bit just the edge).

N-Gage Cards
More how it went in than what it was.

Lynx Cards
Two basic shapes just confuse unnecessarily.

3DS Cards
Stupid Ear Cards.

Vita Cards
So wee! So uncommon! So long!

Like credit cards with games on.

Like credit cards with bigger games on.

That rounded corner.

NES Cartridges
So much wasted space.

Supervision Cartridges
Too much exposure.

Gameking Cartridges
Such a rip-off.

Jaguar Cartridges
Stupid handles.

Have C64 games on them (Ho ho! No actually they’re boring cartridges).

Rubbish compared to the PAL/JP ones

Master System Cartridges
Military style. Regimental and boxy.

Videopac Cartridges
Pleasingly chunky.

Game Gear Cartridges
Quite plain, quite dull.

Wonderfully tiny, terribly made.

WonderSwan/WonderSwan Colour Cartridges
Awesome but tainted by exposed contacts.

Excellent, sleek and pleasantly curved.

Such heavy! Many RAMS.

Game Boy Advance Cartridges
Solid little things with a nice grip.

Neo Geo Pocket/Pocket Colour Cartridges
When it comes to funk, they are the chunky.

Atari 7800 Cartridges
Almost as good as, but not quite as good as…

Atari 2600 Cartridges
They had style, they had grace. Vogue.

Famicom Cartridges
Look at the colours, maaan. Like, COLOURS, maaaan.

Game Boy Colour Cartridges
Nice, but an outy-grip…

Game Boy Cartridges
Isn’t as iconic as an inny-grip.

Mega Drive Cartridges (Western)
The very definition of a Video Game Cartridge.

Only these look a little better.

And that’s it! The winner of Best Physical Game Media Ever, is the Japanese Mega Drive Cartridge. Phew!
