Game Pak

Brand name for Nintendo ROM cartridges From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Game Pak is the brand name for ROM cartridges designed by Nintendo for some of their earlier video game systems. The "Game Pak" moniker was coined by Nintendo of America's marketing manager Gail Tilden.[1][2] It was used in North America, Europe, Oceania, and South Korea.  In Japan, Nintendo uses the term Cassette (カセット, Kasetto) when referring to Famicom, Super Famicom and Nintendo 64 game paks, and Cartridge (カートリッジ, Kātorijji) for the Game Boy line and Virtual Boy.
