Looks cool! But I couldn't deal with having something that big in my pocket all the time...

Hmmmm what's funny is that I have the same game not working either... :-k

It looks pretty cool; I actually hesitated to do it to my non-working copy as I didn't like the art.  I wonder why some games -  :-({|= - just die.  I tried everything too when it came DOA.

I would get a longer chain so that it can hang down more and freely.

Ha knowing me, I would put a sleeve on it (picky git).

You know what's really weird, is now that you mention it my copy of PC Denjin 2 doesn't work either. It's the only non-working card I have. I have somewhere around 150 HuCards, and even a few that I got from lots where they were obviously left outside in the garage for nearly a decade, completely covered in grime and scratches that STILL work perfectly. But the PC Denjin 2 HuCard I have looks perfect but when I start up the game it falls away into a wash of digital garbage and freezes. It's the ONLY HuCard I've ever encountered with this problem. Maybe there was some bad run of chips at the factory or something?

Yeah must be, it's my only one too.  It definitely looks like it was played but is almost in mint condition.  Bugs me out.  I have another copy anyway. Always wanted to peel that cover off to look at it although that would be pointless considering my skill with boards.

Mine always glitches on the first boss.

I wonder if HuCARDs work in the same way as those shrinky-dinks that you used to put in the oven back in the 80s. Anyone want to cook a huey and see if it shrinks to manageable keyring size? :)

I recommend to coat it with some stronge laquer or right laminate it, else the printing won't last long.

I remember doing that with some TG-16 games back inthe early 90's when I worked for Electronics Boutique.  One of the NEC emloyees who worked in Wood Dale Illinois gave me two busted HuCards in exchange for the current issue of EGM magazine.

The only HuCard I've ever had that didn't work right was PC Genjin 2. The graphics would glitch in places.

Yeah well that is what Hudson should have done with the bee cards to begin with. Sell them out and let people carry various information on it,
including videogames.

I'm going to check my copy. Someone should start a poll ("Non-functioning HuCards"), because from the anecdotals in this thread, PC Genjin 2 is vying for "Top Dishonor" (https://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgsad.png)

Instead of a keychain, I simply store my keys in a keycase.

Why do you guys carry your games on a key ring? :-k
Whenever I want to play a game, I just pop it into the good ol' GT whenever I go places. :dance:

Make the GT your keychain and huey holder at the same time :)

Gah, that metal loop came off.  I'll need to replace it with something sturdier.  I have some liquid metal, maybe that could work.

Same here.  This is the only game that I have gotten so far that doesn't work.  I tried everything to clean it with no luck, so I had to return it (was an eBay purchase).  He even said he had tested it before he shipped it.  Wierd.
