Aside from NoA marketing as a toy/VCR equivalent. Didn't clueless parents and grandparents actually call them "game tapes" back in the day? They still do here in Brazil. XD

Some early NES carts are actually a standard NES board acting as a local converter with the Famicom game board jammed on top of it, lol. Aside from NoA marketing as a toy/VCR equivalent, as others mentioned, the space is sometimes used too. I've found two copies of Gyromite and harvested their converters for sweet import action. The weird thing is that they're both different sizes - one fits any standard famicom cart while the other only fits some of them. You can kinda tell which ones have the adapter because they have a more proper center of balance than the ones without it, which are heavier on the contact end. Yeah, every time a copy of Excitebike shows up around here, it gets snatched up right away in hopes of someone being able to get a converter out of it.

It's pretty obvious which ones have it and which ones don't, the ones that do are significantly heavier.

I recently picked up a Toploader and games usually play on it pretty well(I haven't cleaned it yet) with one major issue. I will play any game for 5 minutes or less and the the colors on screen change to a "rainbow" look. If I turn the console off and back on the colors are back to normal. Any idea what could cause this? Any help would be appreciated!

What kind of TV are you using? I had that issue with aGensjss I was testing on my dad's Aquos HDTV.
