To me, it depends on whether I want to play the game or collect the game.

If I want to play the game, I'll take a BIN, a tape, a CD, an Edison cylinder,
a parrot who can squeal Supercharger tones, whatever.  If there's a cartridge
available, I'll certainly buy it so I don't have to go fumbling for my
Supercharger and loading up Windows every time I want to play it.

If I want to collect the game, I won't care unless it's a cartridge.

the Colbert route satisfies both needs, though I might not go for as
limited a run.  200 maybe, instead of 100.  At least.  Or I'll put out
200 and say I released 100.
