Learn why cartridge games needed batteries to save your progress, or why cartridges were even used at all! Why do some games have passwords? Why didn't games and consoles have the same names when they went to the US or Europe? If you seek answers, this is the show for you!
Your next episode will begin in seconds...

The Turbo Booster Plus gives it a bit more kick with some onboard RAM, but the feature wouldn't help with most games. On the other hand, the PC Engine was followed up by a slew of upgraded consoles, and had its own variation of off-card memory storage, and narrowly avoid talking about the CD-ROM2 add-on!
