Others have also summed it up as a pretty cool thing.

If you can't tell, opinions around here can be pretty polarized.

Post by: MottZilla on July 30, 2012, 01:50:39 PM: It's kind of interesting but a pretty limited number of games have the potential to work well because the Super CD only has a very small amount of RAM. I think any game that is over 256Kb won't fit. Play around with it if you want but there is no future to it. If you want all the HuCard games in one thing now there is the Turbo EverDrive.

Yeah, its "cool" because there's a bunch of games all on one CD, most of which don't even load and require more effort than its worth to get them all operational.

Its a neat, novelty, dead end idea, defeated by simpler concepts, like flashcards.
