A HuCard is a memory card developed by Hudson Soft. It is the size of a credit card and is used with the NEC PC Engine and SuperGrafx video game consoles. HuCards contain an integrated circuit (IC) that is placed close to the connectors and protected by a thin plastic shield. Compared to the more traditional cartridges used by almost every other game console of the time, the HuCard is relatively small and compact.
In the United States HuCards are known as TurboChips, named after the US-version of the Japanese PC Engine the TurboGrafx.
The HuCard can be compared with the BeeCard, also a memory card developed by Hudson Soft which was used with MSX computers. The BeeCard is slightly thinner and contains 32 connectors where the HuCard has 38.
