I thought they were called Sega Cards - where did MyCard come from?  Anyway, the best use of the card slot was the 3-D Glasses, but since you're specifically asking for a card game, I'll pick Spy vs. Spy.

P.S. - Your link is broken.

Probably intentional, seeing as those titles are standard cartridges.

You did leave out Bank Panic, Great Soccer, Great Baseball, Satellite 7, Astro Warrior, Comical Machine Gun Joe, and Woody Pop; but I assume that was also intentional, since they weren't released in the good ol' USA.

SMS games came in two formats...  Cards and Cartridges.  The card slot were dropped in the later revisions of the SMS consoles *(SMS 2).  The 3D glasses also used the card slot for the 3D games found on carts (possibly for power?)

The cards tended to be very limited games (maybe quick ports from the SG-1000?)

GULKAVE a Compile shooter for the SG-1000. I'm sure it runs on a SMS too.

I voted for Ghost House, because it is the coolest as a game-on-card that I had a lot of fun with back in the day. Its just not the same on cart. I also prefer Teddy Boy on card.

The Mark III SMS has both the card slot and an ear phone jack type port for the 3D glasses.

Card games are limited just because the cards could only be made in small meg sizes back then. Just as HuCard took a while to gain size and R-Type had to be split into two games.

They should have split Black Beltâ„¢ into part 1 and part 2 on two cards.

I loved how every Sega Card game had the same exact hand on the box holding the card.
