That was the neat thing about cartridge based game consoles, each game was essentially a new piece of hardware.

I think the Game Boy Advance was the last mainstream PCB cartridge game console. The GameCube had moved to discs, Sony and Microsoft never made a cartridge based system, and Sega was on their third such system with the Dreamcast.

But I don't think the GBA or N64 really did things like the SNES or NES did with regards to cartridge hardware. I think by that time, the core hardware was way more powerful than anything that could be attached.
