The height of the PCB portion is 26mm, and approx. 60mm in total (including the handle). The thickness of 5.5mm is at the thickest point (the handle). Note that the black molding is not exact between different cards so some deviation from these measurements can be expected.

|align="left"| This could arguably be said to be the first "true" cartridge for a home gaming console. Whereas the earlier Magnavox Odyssey game cards merely turned on or off certain electronics inside the console (like a set of switches or jumpers), the Telstar Arcade cartridge actually contained small 512-word programs in ROM. The cartridge has a unique triangular shape which connects on the top of the Telstar Arcade console.

The American Odyssey 2 cards have a more rounded-ness to the straight edge. It's possible the mould for the Odyssey 2 cards was made by taking a mould of one of the Videopac carts in much the same way we see similar sculpts degradation in other bootleg cards and toys.

The cartridge being converted would sit on top of an adapter which is 87mm wide and 9mm thick. The Mega Key cart itself is 67mm tall, but 127mm with a regular cart on top. Despite the grey area around the concept of the cart, this was actually officially distributed in Portugal, by Ecofilmes (see Wikipedia @ shorturl.at/sDEFJ)

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

A game cartridge is a replaceable part designed to be connected to a home computer or a video gaming console. The purpose of this article is to catalogue the dimensions of cartridges used by popular retro consoles, in order to facilitate production of replacement cartridge shells or customized outer packaging.

First generation of consoles

Console Height (mm) Width (mm) Thickness (mm) Notes Confirmed by Images
Original Magnavox Odyssey "Game Cards" 60 100 5.5 At the bottom of the game card, the width of the PCB is 90.5mm, expanding to just under 100mm width at the top of the handle. The height of the PCB portion is 26mm, and approx. 60mm in total (including the handle). The thickness of 5.5mm is at the thickest point (the handle). Note that the black molding is not exact between different cards so some deviation from these measurements can be expected. Zach Horton & Brad Hartz (OdysseyNow) Magnavox Odyssey Game No 6.png Magnavox Odyssey.png
Magnavox Odyssey Multicard 110 [8] 105 15 105mm wide and 15mm thick at widest/thickest point of the 3D printed handle. The PCB is 90mm wide. TheRealOC FJo9S5LXEA0aiJq.jpg Magnavox Odyssey.png
Magnavox Odyssey Series of Consoles N/A N/A N/A The Odyssey Series of dedicated consoles were limited to a fixed number of built-in games and were not equipped for additional games that are distributed via ROM cartridges, discs, downloads or other digital media. TheRealOC NA.png Magnavox-Odyssey-2000-FL.jpg
TV Tennis Electrotennis (Epoch) N/A N/A N/A The Electrotennis was a dedicated console (i.e. with game(s) built in), which was not equipped for additional games that are distributed via ROM cartridges, discs, downloads or other digital media. TheRealOC NA.png TV Tennis Electrotennis.jpg
Atari Home Pong N/A N/A N/A Both models of Atari Home Pong (the C-100 and the C-140) were dedicated consoles, limited to a fixed number of built-in games and were not equipped for additional games that are distributed via ROM cartridges, discs, downloads or other digital media. TheRealOC NA.png S-l1600 (3).jpg
Coleco Telstar Series N/A N/A N/A The Coleco Telstar Series of dedicated consoles were limited to a fixed number of built-in games and were not equipped for additional games that are distributed via ROM cartridges, discs, downloads or other digital media. The one exception was the Coleco Telsar Arcade console. TheRealOC NA.png Coleco Telstar Deluxe.jpg
Coleco Telstar Arcade cartridges ? ? ? This could arguably be said to be the first "true" cartridge for a home gaming console. Whereas the earlier Magnavox Odyssey game cards merely turned on or off certain electronics inside the console (like a set of switches or jumpers), the Telstar Arcade cartridge actually contained small 512-word programs in ROM. The cartridge has a unique triangular shape which connects on the top of the Telstar Arcade console. ? Coleco telstar arcade cartridge (front).jpg Coleco-Telstar-Arcade-Pongside-L.jpg
Nintendo Color TV - Game 6 N/A N/A N/A The Nintendo Color TV-Game Series of consoles were all dedicated consoles with games built-in; they were not equipped for additional games that are distributed via ROM cartridges, discs, downloads or other digital media.

Second generation of consoles

Sears Video Arcade II/Atari 2800 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Magnavox Odyssey 2 cartridge 127 80 21 The cartridges are in chunky plastic casings with a handle to make removal easier, and in Europe they were typically boxed in hard plastic cases with a combined manual and inlay providing cover art. Reddit User: gsx115 Odyssey 2 cartridge (front).jpg Odyssey 2 cartridge (rear).jpg
Philips Videopac G7000 cartridge (European release of the Magnavox Odyssey 2) 127 80 21 The cartridges for the PAL and NTSC versions of the console (Magnavox Odyssey 2 and Videopac G7000 respectively) are the same size and shape; anecdotally the Videopac carts have a more crisp casting (and possibly molding).

The American Odyssey 2 cards have a more rounded-ness to the straight edge. It's possible the mould for the Odyssey 2 cards was made by taking a mould of one of the Videopac carts in much the same way we see similar sculpts degradation in other bootleg cards and toys.

Standard Sega Mega Drive Japanese Cartridges 67 93 17 The PCB's are always ~83mm since the receiver is around 85mm.

Standard PAL Sega Mega Drive Cartridges 67 95/108 17 Genesis and PAL Mega Drive carts share the same mold; their footprint goes from a rectangular 95mm wide shape and widens into 108mm with rounded sides, 67mm tall and 17mm thick, with chamfered edges. Only the sides of the cart are rounded, with the top being being flat, and there is no indentation since consoles outside Japan don't have a cart locking mechanism.

Sega Genesis Acclaim Cartridges 67 95/108 17 Acclaim cartridges are similar to standard Genesis/PAL cartridges but with different text in the rear molding.

Sega Genesis EA (Electronic Arts) Cartridges 88 95 17 Electronic Arts reverse-engineered the Genesis and produced their own (taller) carts, which were notable for the large indentation with a yellow plastic section with the EA logo molded onto it. Cartridges have flat edges at the bottom, a flat top and chamfered/slightly rounded sides. NagaTen Sega Genesis EA cartridge.png EA cartridge side view.png
Standard Sega 32x PAL Cartridge 111 72 16 Aside from text which is written into the mold, Genesis and PAL 32x carts share the same mold; the design is consistent across all regions. Unlike the Japanese Mega Drive there is no cartridge lock, but there are also no end labels. Reddit User: gsx115 Standard Sega 32x PAL Cartridge.png Sega 32X.png

Sega Mega Drive Codemasters "J-Cart" Cartridge (with controller ports) 75 98/65 17 J-Carts are exactly the same as standard Codemasters cartridges, but with two front-facing 9-pin controller ports labelled "Control 3" and "Control 4".

Sega Genesis Sonic and Knuckles cartridge 82 (incl. the cover) 95/116 17/22 "Sonic 3" and "Sonic & Knuckles" were originally conceived as a single game, however ROM size constraints meant that the game had to be split into two separate parts. The "Sonic & Knuckles" cart is an identical shape to a Standard PAL MegaDrive/NTSC Genesis cartridge at the bottom (with a "cut" on the left side of the cart for compatibility with the Japanese cart-locking mechanism).

However, the top of the cart has a swiveling cover called a "Lock-On Adapter", which allows the player to connect another cartridge on top. The footprint of the cartridge goes from a 95mm wide shape and widens into 116mm at the top, while the thickness goes from 17mm to 22mm.

Mega Key region converter cartridge 67 95/108 17 This is an unofficial region bypass cartridge that uses dip switches to convert cartridges from any region (USA/Japan/Brazil/PAL+SECAM) to work with a Sega Genesis/MegaDrive console from any region. As with standard cartridges, the Mega Key footprint goes from a rectangular 95mm wide shape and widens into 108mm

The cartridge being converted would sit on top of an adapter which is 87mm wide and 9mm thick. The Mega Key cart itself is 67mm tall, but 127mm with a regular cart on top. Despite the grey area around the concept of the cart, this was actually officially distributed in Portugal, by Ecofilmes (see Wikipedia @ shorturl.at/sDEFJ)
