Turbo Chip vs HuCard
« on: August 26, 2014, 07:41:47 AM »
Just curious as to what you use as the name for the game chips?
I've always used the HuCard name, but it seems as though even NEC could not decide what they wanted to call the chips in the US. They refer to both Turbo Chip and HuCard on just about every game through the instructions and then on the game itself.

Don't forget, they're also known as HuckCARDs.

HuCard sounds better.  So I always used HuCard in the past.  Turbo chip sounds kinda like slang or something used by a "geek."

HuCard, probably derived from "Hu"dson soft Card, on the msx ( Japanese only computer), Hudson also released the Beecard which were similar

It was... yet they still have HuCard printed right on the card itself. I guess that's why I've always called them HuCards.
