    Aren’t the batteries in those coming up on their end of life? I remember reading stories years ago about how those carts were starting to fail as the batteries died.

      Game Boy carts don’t fail when the batteries die, they just lose their dave data. And most games didn’t even use battery saves. Thankfully replacing the batteries is a pretty simple job!
