Very neat. When I got them off of eBay, that was the first I heard of them. Other than being labeled as coming out in 1983 and being called "LSI Mini Game Cards" and "Amada" on their plastic protectors, everything else I know is in this thread. Perhaps someone else knows more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had grown up as a child in Japan, I'd have grown up with nice nostalgia for those cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, figured it wasn't that far-fetched. Some translations get pretty weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
