As I said, I've never encountered to one till now myself, but since I believe that some one made that thing, I don't think it is worth a fortune. Also to reprogramm it with other roms is a pain in the ass nowadays, and need some good knowledge and equipement.

Some of the PCE games that were added to MAME were kind of similar to this.  The hardware was a PC-Engine, and the software was a US ROM (like Blazing Lazers), hacked to defeat the lockout check that US games have.  I have a feeling this auction is either similar or identical.

I seen a few videos of NEC using similar looking Hucards devices at some electronic expo's. That Ebay thing looks kinda cool and it could be made by NEC. Is the point of that to have a bunch of games on one HuCard? Check out these 2 videos I found. One is from 1991 aqnd the other is from 1992. You can clearly see that weird HuCard in their system demos. Also some other weird NEC stuff in the videos like a "CD-Rom adapter" and something called "NID" from NEC that is hooked up to a japanese pc-engine cd-rom. Have you guys seen any of this stuff?

Video 1 from 1992 

Video 2 from 1991

Perfect examples of how Sega had NEC/TTI beat on the marketing front.

On a side note, I love how that cool that guy thought he was with the TG16 jacket. hahaha....OK...he was cool and I want the jacket.  8-[

Yeah I noticed that jacket also. In video#2 at 1:05 you can see the guy in the Bonk costume was actually Bonking people. LOL. I really like these 2 videos. Camcorders were huge and pricey back then so I am glad someone got this footage.

Is anyone here bidding on that item?
