Here is a strange gadget for the Atari 2600: the Video Game Brain. The thing is essentially a switch box for the 2600.

You plug up to six cartridges into it and then you can press a button next to each cart to quickly switch to it.

I found a picture of the original box:

“Any Atari 2600 compatible tape can be used”!
