If a Hucard is no Card anymore but a Cartridge, I wonder how peeps would get mad if they suddenly have to carry around MD, SFC or even Neo Geo sized "Cartridges" to get some cash out of an ATM.
The 'pro-cartridge' people aren't saying that it's not a card as well, it's the 'pro-card' people who are saying that it's not a cartridge.
The opening post and poll aren't even asking if HuCards/Turbochips are carts or cards,
only if they count as carts:Was watching a youtube video this morning talking about Famicom cartridges; while doing so, it was suggested that PC Engine/Turbografx HuCards are not cartridges.
Are they, or aren't they? And what, exactly, is the definition of a cartridge?
A HuCard is:
A cartridge.
Not a cartridge.
I don't know and have no opinion.
A nutritious part of this complete breakfast
Although the
"it's a card because it says so" people are ignoring the contradiction of their own logic, with various carts labeled as Paks, Cassettes, Chips, etc... the thing is that they don't even say "Card", they say "HuCard". Because Hudson had to copyright
something original. What's the best way to market slim carts that are similar in size to business cards? Incorporate "card" into the made-up name.
As I said early on, if a console's cart games were pcbs encased in wooden spheres (
with a connection to plug into the console), they wouldn't be "Spheres" and not "Carts". It'd be fine to call them Spheres and if they were made by Hudson, maybe they'd be stamped with a moniker like "WooSpheres". But that wouldn't mean that they weren't technically cartridge games.
What if HuCards were called "CD-ROM2 System Compact Discs"? Would they still not count as carts?
I probably should have brought this up earlier, but I have a copy of a PC Engine game from a little known format that Hudson marketed for a while after the SuperGrafx bombed. I'm surprised that I'm the only one hardcore enough to be aware of it.
They're called "HuConsoles". The one I have is Snow Bros. Game magazines at the time incorrectly listed the game as being planned for CD, because they were really just guessing. Although they function
exactly the same as Cartridge, Cart, Pak, Cassette, etc, games... it's obviously a "Console" and not a "Cart",
-because it says so right on it!
