I finally got a replacement ribbon for the Casio disc titler (from a U.S. seller; the ones from Japan never arrived, so I got a refund), so I took apart the old one to see what the previous owner used it to print. Apparently he was into building model railroads, and was selling or giving away CDs or DVDs, because it was the same few labels printed over and over again.

Same thing with "the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1985, and the Atari 7800 flopped because it didn't come out until a year later". Nope! The NES only had a test-market release of 100k units in NYC in December 1985; meanwhile, the Atari 2600 sold over a million units in 1985. The 7800's nationwide release was in May 1986 (along with the redesigned 2600 "Jr."), while the NES didn't hit U.S. stores nationwide until late September 1986.
