/* Disk Vs Cartridge */
== Disk Vs Cartridge ==
Sometimes such games had some features removed because the most common size of [[Cartridge|cartridge]] used was only 128KB which had less capacity compared to a 3" disk (178K with standard DATA format with later - the usable storage size. Later disc games used had around 210K 210KB of usable storage on each disc, compared . Compare this to 128KB used for most cartridge games) and in addition there was no way to store game state (i.e. the cartridge contained an EPROM and the ACID protection chip only, no EEPROM or RAM). It is worth noting that 256KB and 512KB (max capacity) can be used with cartridges but most used 128KB ROMs.
