Video Game "Look what I found"

Not exactly a game, but close enough!

Tomy Turnin' Turbo Dashboard-2 bucks at goodwill, gotta get some batteries to test it out (will cost 5 times what I paid) Looks like its time to retire my G25 lol.

Almost had a crystal purple N64 in box but it was on hold before I got to the game store. I was shown a Sega in its box but it was rough and missing the padding/foam/plastic inside to hold the system. :S

Instead I picked up the following:

Boxed Japanese Dreamcast Keyboard - 8
Streets of Rage (cib) - 2.50
Sonic 2 (cib) - .89
Virtua Fighter 3tb (missing manual) - 4.50

I had one of these! They were great, perfect for a kid. It's a wonder why I love rad racer and Outrun.

The same seller was selling this other weird Famicom device I have never seen before. He offered combined shipping, so I figured why not?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320761098755?ss ... 1439.l2649

I only decided to Google it after I bid and won, didn't realize it was only for select games. But oh well. Win some, lose some. I'll probably put it up for sale on the forums here at some point. Here's the Wiki page for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_File_%28ASCII%29 . Apparently it's just like the Turbo File 1, only it has 4 banks to save to instead of just one. I've never heard of any of those games though, but now that I've got this weird thing, maybe I'll check them out.

Wow, never heard of this game save device. I wonder if it could be modded to do freeze saves on other game carts? I pulled a pic from the EBay seller.

Probably not. The games that are able to use it were specifically designed to use it. It plugs into the Famicom's 15-pin port, and that's how it communicates with games. Though there's a 30-pin socket on the back of the unit, I have no clue what that is for.

Still, a pretty cool accessory that I never heard of before. It's essentially a memory card for the Famicom!

I'll have to investigate the compatible games and see if any of them are worth trying. Though if none of them have English translations, and aren't playable for a non-Japanese speaking person, I probably will have no use for this archaic memory card.

edit: Looks like there was one for the SNES as well: http://www.snescentral.com/article.php?id=0908
