Just curious as to what you use as the name for the game chips?
I've always used the HuCard name, but it seems as though even NEC could not decide what they wanted to call the chips in the US. They refer to both Turbo Chip and HuCard on just about every game through the instructions and then on the game itself.

I've always said HuCard

I prefer TurboChips to Hu  Cards.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I always called US games Turbo Chips and PC Engine games "hue" cards for who knows what reason.

HuCard sounds better.  So I always used HuCard in the past.  Turbo chip sounds kinda like slang or something used by a "geek."

Four years straight calling them ''hue'' cards, turbochips sounds alien to me lol.

HuCard, probably derived from "Hu"dson soft Card, on the msx ( Japanese only computer), Hudson also released the Beecard which were similar

Wasn't Turbo Chip what they marketed them as in the US? That name just makes me want chips. Mmmmhh, chips.

It was... yet they still have HuCard printed right on the card itself. I guess that's why I've always called them HuCards.

If I'm talking about a U.S. game, I call them Turbochips. I know it's really just a branding thing they did for localization and they're all technically Hucards.
I'm a cunt, always was. Topic Adjourned.

I go back and forth from calling them HuCards or just chips.

geise

ChuCards is even better!

cr8zykuban0

definitely hu card is my favorite term.
or how about turbo cards? or hu chips? 

nahhh, hu card seems about right

Gentlegamer

Since Hudson/NEC was never consistent, I settled on HuCards.

TurboChip sounds stupid.

HuCARD all the way, unless I'm purposefully making a joke.

Pointing to Ballistix cardboard box on my bedroom dresser. "Can you hand me that Ballistix cardboard box? I want to see if that piece of TurbChip is still inside. Thanks."

I called 'em TurboChips as a kid, but for some reason I call them HuCards now. I just like the name better. Maybe it's the Hudson factor. I

bonoedgey

I find just calling them HuCards seems to be appropriate for most. Interchangeable but I usually say HuCards meaning both

hehe, I prefer the Turbo Chip! It sounds cool ;]

Hu for me.  TurboChips always makes me hungry.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

ToyMachine78

Turbochips for me. Especially if they're cool ranch. So yum.

Mzo

I use them to differentiate US stuff from J stuff.  If it's an import it's a HuCard, if it's domestic (for me) it's a Turbochip.

People getting mad when you call them Turbochips is another big plus.
HA! HA! I AM USING THE INTERNET!!1
