Granted. E.T., a game based off of a Universal Pictures movie of the same name, rests in its original cartridge form on the ground in front of you. Suddenly, every video game that has ever been made begins to stack on top of the cartridge, until eventually every video game is on one Universal cartridge.

This might be the most creative reply I've seen here yet

That’s why I make the average bucks.

I was going to comment an outcome, but will look dumb compared to this.

Granted! If only you had the universal console that could read it.

u/Fluffball_Furry 1d ago

Granted. You are transported back to 1976 and given the first video game cartridge

u/dr_bobs 1d ago

Granted. Its the size of a building and is too big to use.

Granted. You have a disc that contains nothing but awful mobile games. Every other game ever made was deleted in a freak electromagnetic storm that wiped the data on every hard drive, cartridge and disc except for the one you have.

You are now in possession of a single disc that contains every video game that currently exists.

Question stands. Is GTA 6 there?

1

u/CoriSP 1d ago

Nope, they're all mobile games

1

u/novelaissb 1d ago

At least you get San Andreas

"awful mobile games"

1

u/novelaissb 23h ago

Someone finds that game awful

1

u/CoriSP 23h ago

Nope, not good mobile games or ports of console releases, specifically the really bad, scammy ones that are little more than microtransaction bait.

Angry Birds 2

u/Plebecide 1d ago

Granted. There is no search function

u/Megagamr 1d ago

You are now in possession of a disk with every video game ever released or will ever release. It's a shame it takes up infinite storage space. No computer will ever be able to install the games

2

u/LegDayLass 1d ago

Granted, the cartridge is the size of the universe.

u/Temporary-Smell-501 1d ago

Granted. However its one of those discs that instead of being able to play from the start: requires it all to be downloaded via the disc instead.

You do not have enough space.

u/finest_kind77 1d ago

Granted. Every game installer is on the disk, and requires DLC to play. There is also unbreakable DRM, no key, and it is in a format that no system can access

1

u/Nervous_Ad_6963 1d ago

Granted, but its on a 11" inch floppy drive.

1

u/captain_ricco1 1d ago

Granted. It's just a really big external hard-drive filled with ISOs and roms

Also Nintendo is calling you for something

1

u/BiAndShy57 1d ago

Granted. I hope you have good lawyers for when Nintendo’s legal department comes knocking on your door

1

u/CmdrRogue 1d ago

Granted. It’s placed on a DVD

1

u/DarthLocutus 1d ago

Granted.

Nintendo levies a charge of Piracy at you for every ROM from every one of their systems on the cartridge.

1

u/76zzz29 1d ago

Granted, it can only be used once

1

u/Financial-Tiger-650 1d ago

Man all of these are: Nintendo sues you

1

u/Fusionsigh 1d ago

Granted but you have no way to play it

1

u/BussJoy 23h ago

Granted. A product featuring algorithms and necessary hardware in cartridge format can generate every game that has been or ever will be. Lead time for one game to load is on the order of decades.

1

u/Weak_Variety_1687 9h ago

granted, None of the games were downloaded legally and you get arrested for piracy.

1

u/Minetendo-Fan 1d ago

Granted, it is as expensive as the cost of every video game combined

1

u/Financial-Tiger-650 1d ago

I wished for it outright, not being able to buy it, plus with how expensive you made it i can sell it for 1 morbillion dollars

1

u/Minetendo-Fan 1d ago

You didn’t wish to possess it though. You only wished that every video game is on one cartridge
