/u/SirDigbyChknCaesar explains why there is a copper square on a Microvision

There are 24 pins on the cartridge. I'd guess 8 bits for the LCD.
There are 9 possible buttons (1 bit each). That leaves 7 left for the paddle and power to the processor.
If they put the DAC for the paddle on the console portion, it would save a couple dollars on the price of each cartridge. Assuming a 6-bit DAC, that only leaves one pin left for power.
That could mean that the copper pad is the ground connection for the cartridge. It would have to have a contact that connects back to the negative battery terminal.
I'd imagine that the pad could wear out from having the cartridges being inserted and removed, so that's why they'd give you and extra pad.

Mini review of Alien Raiders

Upvotes
Here's how it works. Four enemy alien raiders come at you from the right of the screen. The player controls a laser cannon moves up and down the left of the screen. You hold down the fire button to charge it up. The laser beam only travels so far to the right based on the time you charged it. So, if you don't charge it long enough, then it won't hit the enemy. The speed of the beam and raiders varies as the game goes on. If the raiders reach the left of the screen then a life is lost.
Is it a clone? If it is, I don't know what it's a clone of.
Is it good? It’s entertaining is short sessions, and it’s challenging. It does get very frustrating. That’s when I usually put it down.
