Assuming they all work OK, but yeah, might work out well for whoever bought all that...
HuCards do break though... I can only speak for myself, but I only ever hard ONE that broke on me... My fresh new TurboExpress right-out-of-the-box destroyed my Bloody Wolf HuCard because the contact pins were so tight - it was tough to push it in the first time and that was the first game I wanted to try on it after it arrived... Turned it on, nothing, pulled the card out, pushed it in again, nothing... Then tried another HuCard and that worked, so I'm like "Uh-oh", then I take Bloody Wolf to my TurboGrafx-16 where it USED to work, but now all I got was a black screen, THE END... Heh. Pretty much how it happened...
That blows, man. Did it loosen it up for the rest of the games? Or were you just gunshy about putting in any other ones?
Yep, exactly what happened. That first push was REALLY tight and I was like, hmm, that didn't feel right, that took WAY more force than what I was used to with the TG-16 system... And when I turned it on and nothing happened, I pulled it out, tried again where the 2nd time was so-so, I started to wonder... I believe I tried a third time before switching to another HuCard which then worked... That's when I got nervous and took Bloody Wolf right to my TG-16 and tried it only to find now that it didn't work at all...
I tried cleaning it many times, but obviously that wasn't the problem, it never was!!! That was the beauty of TG-16 compared to your NES and blowing the carts all the time, using cleaner kits on the contacts, reinserting and pressing down just right in order to get it to work, etc... All the hell Nintendo put you through because of their fancy push-in/push-down tray system, having abandoned the tried and true Atari 2600 method which never really had a damn problem either! But yeah, HuCards also worked EVERY damn time, at least 99.99% of the time!!! I don't really ever remember having to clean the contacts on one to get it to work...
