'''Game cartridges''' are inserted into game console units in order to play different games. They consist of some form of nonvolatile memory storage that could contain a program and data. Sometimes they have been used to store other sorts of programs (e.g., BASIC interpreters or web browsers), but games have always been their primary use. Cartridge-based games came into use in the late 1970s in such systems as the Magnavox Odyssey<sup><small>2</small></sup> and the Atari VCS (later known as the Atari 2600), representing a major advance over earlier units that only played a limited selection of built-in games which could not be expanded. Since then there have been many generations of game consoles with steadily increasing capabilities, though eventually [[CD]]s and Internet downloads took over as more common means of distributing software for them rather than cartridges.<br />
<br />
The electronic formats of data stored in these cartridges are documented in [[ROM and memory images]], which is in the electronic formats section. This article, in the physical formats section, is intended for documenting the physical characteristics of the cartridges.<br />

The '''Laserdisc''' was an optical video disc medium released in 1978 in various countries, but mostly a failure except in Japan. Its laser-read technology was similar to what was later used in more-successful media including the [[CD]] and [[DVD]].<br />
<br />
Laserdiscs are larger than CDs or DVDs in physical size, but have a lower information density. Three encoding formats were used: CAV (Constant Angular Velocity or Standard Play), supporting 30 minutes of video per side; CLV (Constant Linear Velocity or Extended Play), supporting 60 minutes per side; and CAA (Constant Angular Acceleration), used in later discs. The discs were double-sided, with some players able to play both sides without manual flipping, and others requiring a turnover as with [[Gramophone record|vinyl records]].<br />
<br />
Laserdiscs were used for computer games and karaoke discs as well as their primary use as a video medium.<br />
<br />
A modified Laserdisc was used for the BBC Domesday Project in 1986 to store a collection of media regarding life in Britain at the time. This is regarded as an example of archival obsolescence due to the use of formats that are difficult to access in the present. The [[LV-ROM]] format was used for data storage, and it was designed to be used with an Acorn computer and a specialized disc drive with a Domesday-specific controller, none of which can easily be found now in order to attempt to access the few surviving copies of these discs. Stations with the required hardware are set up at a computing museum, and some parts of the project have been recovered and converted to other formats for web or PC use, but the work in its entirety remains very difficult to access and risks getting completely lost in the future. (See [[Wikipedia:BBC Domesday Project|Wikipedia article]] and [http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday Domesday Reloaded] website with a partial conversion.)<br />

16 mm movies are a motion picture film format with a film strip that is 16 millimeters wide. The principal versions are: standard 16 mm film (with a picture size of 10.26 mm by 7.49 mm; versions exist with perforations on both sides, and with single-side perforation leaving space at the other side for a soundtrack), Super 16 mm (or Type W; it has single-side perforation without a soundtrack, suppoting a 7.41 mm by 12.52 mm picture size), and Ultra 16 mm (which uses the space between the perforations for additional image space, totalling 11.66 mm by 6.15 mm).<br />
<br />
While the format was originally developed for amateur use, [[8 mm movies]] proved more popular for home movies due to lower cost and more compact size, but 16 mm movies got wide use for educational and industrial use (schools and workplaces often had projectors of this format for showing films to students and workers) and for television programs (many were filmed in 16 mm, and the format was also used to distribute programs for broadcast and to archive old programs). Sometimes when "lost episodes" of old TV shows (e.g., ''Doctor Who'') are discovered, they are in this format, sometimes surviving in the collections of private collectors after being discarded by the original networks, stations, or studios.<br />
<br />
Theatrical releases, however, generally used [[35 mm movies]] for their higher picture quality.<br />

The '''IBM card''' (originally produced by IBM, but later made by other companies as well) was a very common format of [[punched card]] for many years. Introduced in 1928 for use in tabulating machines, it became a major means of data input and storage for computers in the 1950s and 1960s, before being supplanted by terminals for input and magnetic tape (and later disks) for long-term storage.<br />
<br />
The IBM card was 7 3/8" x 3 1/4", and had 80 columns of data, each of which had 12 positions for punching a rectangular hole, representing the digits 0 through 9 and two "zone punches" designated as X and Y or 11 and 12. (The top position was Y or 12, with X or 11 one position below it and then the digit punches from 0 to 9.)<br />
<br />
A variety of encodings were used to store numbers, letters, symbols, and other data on the cards. The earliest system simplistically punched only one hole per column to store numeric data by punching the hole corresponding to each digit, with the zone punches used for signs and to designate special control cards. Later, letters, punctuation, and binary data were supported by codes involving multiple punches in a column, including [[EBCDIC]]. In theory, 12-bit words could be encoded one to a column, though most encodings in actual use were less information-dense (and, in fact, any encoding which allowed all holes of a card to be meaningfully punched at once could result in cards that had too many holes in them to maintain their structural integrity, and might jam card readers).<br />
<br />
The printing on the cards came in a variety of formats for different applications; a common format was known as "IBM 5081", which had digits printed on it corresponding to the punch positions of the digits in each of the 80 columns.<br />
<br />
The 80-column format of the IBM card inspired the use of 80-column-wide terminals, printers, and data formats such as the [[Internet e-mail message format]] (which suggests limiting lines to 78 characters, which when a carriage return and linefeed are added would reach 80). Some standards still in use today thus bear the marks of this old punched card format.<br />
<br />
Later formats included the shortened [[IBM stub card]], and the more compact [[IBM 96-column card]].<br />
