Multicart

Hey there champ, have you ever played video games? Like Super Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog? Well, you know how you have to put a game cartridge in your console to play that specific game? A multicart is kind of like a cartridge that has multiple games on it. It's like having a magic box that has lots of different games inside of it.

So, let's say you have a multicart for your Game Boy, it might have games like Donkey Kong, Pokémon, and Tetris all in one cartridge. You can choose which game you want to play by selecting it on the menu screen. It's like having a whole bunch of games in one place, which can be really convenient if you don't want to have to keep switching out cartridges.

Multicarts are also popular for older game consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) or the Sega Genesis. People like to collect them because they can be rare or have games that were never released in certain regions.

It's like having a treasure chest full of different games, all in one place!
