The Gaming Historian uncovers the story behind Game Factory, rewritable Sega Genesis cartridges that were available at Blockbuster. All the way back in the 90’s, Blockbuster had 2 big problems.

They tested this new technology on video games, and Game Factory was born. But it didn’t last very long. Learn the story.
